Hi,

I need read data from multiple directories named in 7 consecutive dates for a week worth data. The names of the data sets/files in these directories are all the same. I intend to let sas create libraries with names the same as the directory names before my proc sql starts reading data. How could I do it?

Thanks
Don Yang
