How to search for SAS files in a drive

[malena]

I am trying to get a list of all SAS files (with path names) on a drive and I am using the code that was I found on here of someone trying to do what I need to do- but I it is not working- 

filename search pipe 'for /r U:\REPI\population\saspop %i in (*.sas7bdat) do @findstr /i /m "obs=max" "%i"';

 data search_results;
    infile search length=_len;
    input @1 filepath $varying512. _len;
run;

NOTE: The infile SEARCH is:
Unnamed Pipe Access Device,
PROCESS=for /r U:\REPI\population\saspop %i in (*.sas7bdat) do @findstr /i /m "obs=max" "%i",
RECFM=V,LRECL=256

NOTE: 0 records were read from the infile SEARCH.
NOTE: The data set WORK.SEARCH_RESULTS has 0 observations and 1 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
real time 9:31.21
cpu time 0.06 seconds

What is your OS? Did you try the PIPE command on it's own to ensure it runs? Otherwise, try the simpler approach here: https://support.sas.com/kb/45/805.html
