If you want the Changed timestamp of a known filename in a windows system,
use SASCBTBL and MODULEN to access WinApi functions
. CreateFile (to open the file)
. GetFileInformationByHandle
. CloseHandle

If you want file information of a directory listing, search google for many
previous threads.
You can also have a look at my macro
http://www.devenezia.com/downloads/sas/macros/ FileList
which uses FindFileFirst/FindFileNext to obtain the best detailed
timestamps of a directory listing
