Ash007 -
If what you mean by dos link file is a windows shortcut then you will
need to specify a ".lnk" extension. If you mean a dynamic-link library
then it would be ".dll".
data _null_;
ok = fileexist("C:\Users\A\Documents\test_html\1-
Cartographie\dossier_bidon.lnk");
put ok=;
run;
If you aren't sure about the extension you can use a piped DIR listing
or SAS DREAD:
filename dir pipe 'dir /w/b
"C:\Users\A\Documents\test_html\1-Cartographie\"';
data _null_;
infile dir;
input;
if upcase("dossier_bidon")=:upcase(_infile_) then
put _infile_;
run;
filename dir;
or
data _null_;
attrib FileName length = $72;
rc =
filename("mydir","C:\Users\A\Documents\test_html\1-Cartographie\");
did = dopen ("mydir");
dim_files = dnum(did);
do i = 1 to dim_files;
filename = dread(did,i);
if upcase("dossier_bidon")=:upcase(filename) then
put filename;
end;
rc = dclose(did);
run;

you can try it with the FILEEXIST function:
data _null_;
ok = fileexist("C:\Users\A\Documents\test_html\1-
Cartographie\dossier_bidon");
put ok=;
run;
