I agree Kurt. This can work but I'm writing a production code to move all csv files in a directory after converting them to .sas7bdat and having this kind of check would actually take a lot of CPU usage bandwidth as it would resolve all the variables into input statement.  I instead got a .txt file from client in same location with all the blank .csv files names mentioned inside it.This way we can save a lot if CPU usage since there would be more than 400 files with variables ranging to hundreds.   This way I can read the file and check to import only those which are not mentioned in the .txt file.   Thank you Kurt for your time.    Cordially, Abhinav   ...

This will not work until we mention input statement.  And if we add input statement, this would hardcode the check for specific csv file which in-turn will defeat the purpose of a dynamic check. If you run the code on a file with data, it will still show 0 records were read from the file.   FYI, I've good understanding of Base/Advanced SAS.    Cordially, Abhinav   ... View more
