Thank you all for your reply.      To be precise please find my requirement.     1. I have a control file ( in  CSV Format) in server folder   that will be placed as a result of the  camapign from SAS CI  2. I need to constalatly serach for the contraol file , if the contraol file is present I need to Open the file and read the file and capture  the details into a SAS Data Set.  3. This Program needs to be scheduled so that every 10 minutes this runs.     I have written the programe which finds the file      %let folder=/sasdata/export_files;  /* Check for presence of a KNOWN Filr */  data _null_;  if fileexist("&folder./abc.csv") then  call symputx('file_found','1');  else  call symputx('file_found','0');  run;  %put FILE_Found = &file_found;     Now I need to write a contnuation of this program if FILE_FOUND = 1 the read the file.  After completing the file I need to Schedule this Program.     The two Option we have is      1. Write this SAS Program and Schedule  2. Write a UNIX program in SAS EG ( X Command ) and schedule the same as Cron Job.     Coudl you please let me know how I can complete this and which option  suites here better?     Thanks !!
