I developed a program that verify if exist a file in a directory. If the file exist the program start to run.
I've researched how to verify the modification date of the file(Windows) but I'm not finding anything about that.
For exemplo: if there is a file called TESTE.TXT in my directory and the modification date is the same as current date my program start to run.
Is that possible to do?
SAS CODE:
%LET TESTFILE = "F:/teste/TESTE.TXT";
%MACRO FINDIT;
%DO %UNTIL(%SYSFUNC(FILEEXIST(&TESTFILE)));
%END;
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE WORK.TESTE_II AS
SELECT *
FROM WORK.TESTE;
QUIT;
%MEND;
%FINDIT;
