and here is a short process to do the same on winXX

filename dirs pipe 'dir /b /ad /s ';
data;
  infile dirs     length = l;
  input  dir  $varying256. l;
run;

For documentation on the /b /ad /s
go to a dos prompt and type
dir /?

Hi SH,
I am going to jump to the conclusion that you want to get the listing into a
text file in order that you can read the results into a SAS dataset.  If
this is true, then there are more elegant methods than creating a text file.
One is to use the pipe command.  The following example is based in Unix, but
should work with Windows syntax also.

filename dirlist pipe "ls &dailydir";
data dclist emlist;
infile dirlist;
length dataname dsn $25;
input @1 dsn;
if substr(dsn,1,2)='dc' then output dclist;
if substr(dsn,1,2)='em' then output emlist;
run;

HTH,
Brad
