Subject:      X Command: blanks in directory?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all, I searched the archive but couldn't find anything on the topic.
The question is the following:

I need to execute the following command in SAS V6.12 under Windows:

x "dir &path\&folder > &pgmpath\list.txt";
However, both &path and &folder have blanks in them.  How can I rewrite the
X command so that DOS will understand me?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ling
