I'll assume you've got a directory structure like this, with your *.sas
files in each:
  a/b1/c1/prod/
  a/b2/c2/d2/prod/
  a/b3/prod/
  a/b4/c4/d4/e4/f4/prod/
  ...

Try this from whatever path corresponds to a/ above:

  find . -path '*/prod/*.sas' -print | xargs -i -t chmod 744 {}

where you can change 744 to anything you want, eh.  This is what I really
like about unix -- it's entirely intuitive once you've memorized 350
commands.
