I would like to retrieve filenames and corresponding dates(file creation dates)  from a directory in Linux environment using SAS piping.  I can retrieve filenames but not dates.  Here is the code I use to retrieve files:

filename x pipe 'ls /path';

I have tried other linux commands in addition to ls but none works.
