I haven't worked with unix for some time, but why do you want to bring sas into this problem, such things should be solvable with bash-commands easily.

Humbly asking @Kurt_Bremser for to share his wisdom.

I'm coming!

That is a UNIX one-liner:

find /home/data -nouser

To read the list of resulting names into a SAS dataset, do

filename oscmd pipe "find /home/data -nouser 2>&1";

data names;
infile oscmd truncover;
input name $200.;
run;

The "2>&1" construct reroutes stderr output to stdout, so in case of a problem you get one or a few observation(s) containing the problem message.
