Hi Aman, Looks like your code may work. But in my oriinal data the path has gaps as result from the last part of your code I am getting the following error:

444

445 %macro readfiles();

446

447 %do i= 1 %to &filecount;

448

449 %let infile= %scan(%bquote(&fname),&i,%str(|));

450

451 %let outfile=%substr(&infile,1,%eval(%index(&infile, xls)-2));

452

453 proc import datafile="I:\Anuj\temp folder\&infile." out=&outfile dbms=excel; run;

454

455 %end;

456

457 %mend readfiles;

458

459 %readfiles;
