I need to read these log files into SAS and produce a .txt file from them. How can I accomplish this task.

Do you need to parse any of the text or do you just need to create a new text file by concatenating the 3 log files?

Textfiles are read with a data-step using infile and input statements. See the documentation of both statements for examples. The infile-statement allows wildcards, so you can read all files with one step. If you want to create a text-file you use file and put statements.

I can't give you code, because you forgot to explain how the output should look.
