Thanks for the reply, Patrick. If I had more time, I would implement a solution with one of those other applications. Since I'm most familiar with SAS, if I can get it all done (by "it", I mean all of the data transformation and appending this project requires after reading in the files, aside from reading in the files themselves) with just clicking the "Run" button in a single instance of SAS, which is what I've got now, then that's what I'm going with. I appreciate the other solutions y'all have presented in this thread using those other applications (VBS, Powershell, ChatGPT), and I'll certainly look to those for future projects involving this kind of purpose. I'm just not familiar with those, and for me to get as familiar with, for example, VBS, as I would need to get in order to make that script work (to be clear, I've never worked with VBS programming before) would take more time than I have to devote to this project at the moment.
