Subject:      MACRO help
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hello,
I have eleven .TXT files residing under MyLib. Their names are ixidat01 through ixidat11.
What I would like to do is place the following code, which works, into a macro so that
I won't manually have to read in each of those files. For example, in the code below,
I am reading the ixidat01.txt file. Then, I'll have to change that name to ixidat02
and so on. If you have a better code, then you don't have to use my code below.
Can anyone please help? Thanks.  NICK.


libname MyLib '/files0/nick/MODELING/FREECHKNGMODELS/SEP_DEC04_MODEL/DATA/IXI_DATA';
filename ixidat01 '/files0/nick/MODELING/FREECHKNGMODELS/SEP_DEC04_MODEL/DATA/IXI_DATA/ixidat01.txt' lrecl=489;

data MyLib.ixidat01;
infile ixidat01 missover;
input @001 zip                   $5.
      @006 zipfour               $4.      /* zipfour                                        */
      @010 inv24class            $2.      /* investyles 24-class code                       */
      @012 inv10class            $2.      /* investyles 10-class code                       */
      @014 rectype               $1.;     /* record type                                    */
