Reading in PDF file names into SAS

[amamiche67]

Hi. I have several scanned PDF files in a folder on my computers that consist of information for each study subject. The PDF file names are each respective subjects' ID. I want to import the file names into a dataset in SAS, not really concerned about the information within the files right now. I'm pretty new to SAS and unsure of where to even begin. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does the SAS server have access to your local drive?
If you're using SAS University Edition the answer is no.
If you're using SAS Server then it depends on your installation.

If it does, something like this works, modify the path to your path:
