length file $128;
/* Define a filename pointing to the directory */
rc = filename("myDir", "C:\Users\PG\Documents\My SAS Files\9.4");
/* Open the directory, get directory id number */
dirId = dopen("myDir");
if dirId > 0 then do;
    /* dnum() : nb of files in directory */
    do i = 1 to dnum(dirId);
        /* Read the ith file name from directory */
        file = dread(dirId, i);
