They all start with D? Do you have other datasets in the library that you need to exclude?
You can do it without a macro, using the colon short cut. This will append all datasets that start with the letter D.
data want;
set D:;
run;
If you need a macro and want to use proc append, I would use the following method:
1. Write macro to use PROC APPEND
2. Obtain list of dataset name from sashelp.vtable -> store in a dataset
3. Use call execute to execute macro from #1.
