How to get Linux 'ls -l' command to print output to the log in SAS Enterprise Guide

[GeorgeBonanza]

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.

X commands are usually turned off on EG, but if they're not in your environment something like the following will work.

   Filename filelist pipe "ls -l"; 
                                                                                   
   Data _null_;                                        
     Infile filelist truncover;
     Input filename $100.;
     Put filename=;
   Run;
