Thanks Bill.
I was able to create the directory structure.
Now, the problem I am facing is copying the sas files from the earlier
directory to the current (new) directory.
I am not quite familiar with the x term commands.

Although I did try this:

DATA _null_;
  week_date=today()-1;
  old_week_date=today()-8;
  call symput('oldstamp',put(old_week_date,yymmddN8.));
  call symput('datestamp',put(week_date,yymmddN8.));
RUN;

/* options noxwait; */
x mkdir "&DATESTAMP";
x mkdir "&DATESTAMP./code";
x mkdir "&DATESTAMP./data";

x cp "/home/user/&OLDSTAMP./code/program1.sas /home/user/&DATESTAMP./
code/program1.sas";
 cp "/home/user/&OLDSTAMP./code/program2.sas /home/user/&DATESTAMP./
code/program2.sas";



In the above code
- noxwait shows as an unrecognized option!
- and the copying of sas programs using the x terminal cp command does
not work!!!


Thanks again for all your help.
