Apologies for opening a track from old thread. But my issue looks similar. When i run the below code, i got the error as mentioned in subject. I applied workarnd suggested by AndrewF, but still couldn't succeed.
I'm running this code in SAS EG 5.1.
%global month tdcut infle inpth inpth2 cnt cnt2;
%let month = 201411 ;*** current monthly processing date;
%let tdcut = 31oct2014 ;*** the cut off date for daily csv trigger dates, matches the last
date in the current application fi;
%let clint = resfcu ;*** client;
%let fi = ResourcesFCU ;*** fi name;
*filename indat1 pipe 'ls -d /data_PPM/ResourcesFCU/Shopper/daily_files/*' ;
*filename indat2 pipe 'ls -d /data_PPM/ResourcesFCU/Shopper/daily_files2/*' ;
data null ;
NewDir1 = dcreate('indat1','ls -d /data_PPM/ResourcesFCU/Shopper/daily_files/*') ;
run ;
data null ;
NewDir2 = dcreate('indat2','ls -d /data_PPM/ResourcesFCU/Shopper/daily_files2/*') ;
run ;
data file_list1 ;
length fname $250 ;
infile indat1 truncover ; /* infile statement for file names */
input fname $250. ; /* read the file names from the directory */
call symput ('num_files1',_n_) ; /* store the record number in a macro variable */
If scan(fname,-1,'.') = 'txt' then delete ;
If scan(fname,-1,'/') = 'dupes' then delete ;
run ;
