Hi Michael,

Are you sure your command ll shouldn't be ls?

ls will work as you have written.



Hope this is helpful.

Hi All,
 I'm having trouble with the following code in Unix.  It creates the
"dump.txt" file in the specified directory; however, it has 0 records in
it. Any suggestions?



%let progs = /temp/mydir;

data _null_;
command= " ll &progs *.sas > &progs/dump.txt";
call system (command);
run;
