Hi,

Does anyone have SAS code that retrieves the file attibutes of all files/folders in a directory?

I'm particularly interested in date modified and owner name.

Thank you.

Create a named pipe and get that from the directory listing?  Exact code depends on OS, but the concept should be the same.

filename myfile pipe "dir C:\temp\ /q";  */q gets owner in windows;

data mystuff;

infile myfile lrecl=500;

input (whatever you are interested in);

run;

Thank you for the reply.

I ran the following code:

For "owner" I only see:

BUILTIN\Administrators

8

5

Do you know what this is referring to?

It would help if you posted all of the code that you ran.
