Hello

Let's say that in specific path there are multiple txt files with name structure: RevenueYYYYMMDD

(For example: Revenue20200912, Revenue20200917,Revenue20200802  and so on)

The task is to tell SAS to create a data set with one column called date_Revenue_File.

In this column there will be dates from names of the files date.

For example:

If there are 3 files:

Revenue20200912

Revenue20200917

Revenue20200802 

 

Then in the column "date" there will be 3 values:

20200912

20200917

20200802 

 

thank you
