Super. Works great. But, what if 'wxyz' is at end of dataset name?
Curious why SAS has not added more flexibility there.
Comments greatly appreciated.

Probably for the same reason that variable lists don't allow use of suffixes and likely related to really obnoxious coding. Prefixes start in the same place. But suffixes could begin at any character and coding can way more complicated.
