data two;
set one(keep=year);
call symput('newyear',year);
run;
filename dirlist pipe 'ls "/data/set1/&year." /s';

Use double quotes on the outside to allow macro variable references.
data _null_;
set one ;
call symputx('newyear',year);
stop;
run;
filename dirlist pipe "ls -R ""/data/set1/&year"" " ;
Hi,
Try this with single quotes around the file path:-
data two;
set one(keep=year);
call symput('newyear',year);
run;
filename dirlist pipe '/data/set1/&year.';
