Hi all,

I have a problem retrieving the fysical filename of a fileref I use.

This is the situation: filename foo 'c:\temp\f*.txt'; data test; attrib x lenght=$10 format=$10. informat $10.; input x; run;

When I submit this code I get the following note in my log NOTE: The infile FOO is: File Name=c:\temp\f_test_document.txt, RECFM=V,LRECL=256

What I want to get into a variable is the filename from this infile. I tried %sysfunc(pathname(foo)); This gives me c:\temp\f*.txt

Also in the sashelp.vextfl (dictionary.extfiles) this complete filename is not present.

Where can I find this filename??

Greetings, Bas
