@Patrick Mine is UNIX environment.  NOXCMD is set by default in our platform. How to tackle the problem in UNIX?

 

NOXCMD            Disables the X command in SAS

With NOXCMD you're restricted to SAS. You could use FCOPY as documented here.

 

BUT..... very often when people say "network drive" they are talking about their local Windows environment. Before you even try to implement SAS code for copying the file you need to ensure that the target you want to copy to is accessible from your SAS Compute Server environment. To do so use PUTTY and try to access this network drive with Unix commands only. Eventually get help from some Unix admin for this.

@Patrick FCOPY as documented here. tells for copy of one file from source to destination. In order to copy multiple files in one single go, can we use *.xlsx in Filename statement?

I'd say you need now FIRST to test if the target file system is even reachable from your environment. 

I'd also say it's now time that you read documentation and do a bit of your own trials.
