On windows DIR /AD will restrict the DIR output to directories within
the target folder.  You can add /S to list sub folders.  You can
execute this and read the output via the PIPE access method.  There
are also functions that can be used to read object names from folders
that will allow you to have a more general solution that is not OS
dependent.

filename ft55f001 pipe 'dir /ad ".\"';
data _null_;
   infile ft55f001;
   input;
   list;
   run;
