Works for me, using Version 9.1.3 SP3. Demo:
data _null_;
file 'w and x.dat'; put 'w'; put 'x';
file 'y and z.dat'; put 'y'; put 'z';
run;
data _null_;
do inf = 'w and x.dat', 'y and z.dat';
infile dummy filevar=inf end=done;
done = 0;
do until (done);
input letter $;
put letter=;
end;
end;
stop;
run;
Result:
NOTE: The infile DUMMY is:
File Name=C:\Documents and Settings\HS\w and x.dat,
RECFM=V,LRECL=256
letter=w
letter=x
NOTE: The infile DUMMY is:
File Name=C:\Documents and Settings\HS\y and z.dat,
RECFM=V,LRECL=256
letter=y
letter=z
There may be a problem in the way you are forming or acquiring values for
you FILEVAR= variable.
