Functionsize: Process Your External Files
Overview There are many instances where all files in a directory need to be processed in exactly the same manner. If the files in the directory are not assigned using an incremental naming convention, or if the number of files in the directory changes with each request, processing the files can be problematic. This paper helps to resolve this problem by using SAS external file functions. These functions can open a directory, determine the number of members of the directory, identify the file names that can be used to process the data, and close the directory. File processing can be done dynamically without ever knowing the physical file name.
