I would like to change read/write permission for some folders I have on a server. I know that I can use x commands in SAS EG to do this and commands like
x cd '/filepath/';
and
x pwd;
both run and print output to the log. However, when I try to run
x ls -l;
so I can see the current permissions of folders in the directory, nothing prints to the log. Conceptually, this is all new to me so I am sure I am missing something simple.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Filename filelist pipe "ls -l";
Data _null_;
Infile filelist truncover;
Input filename $100.;
Put filename=;
Run;
Filename filelist pipe "ls -l";
Data _null_;
Infile filelist truncover;
Input filename $100.;
Put filename=;
Run;
This works well. Thanks for your help.
