Subject:      Capture File Names being read using a wildcard

To SAS-Lers,

I thought there was a way to capture a list of files being read by SAS
when using a wildcard in filename statement.

filename myfiles "C:\data\*.txt";

data test;
infile myfiles;
input x y z;
run;

I know the log will show what files were read but I was hoping to be able
to capture them as it is reading the files or on completion of reading the
files.

Any ideas without having to write a separate macro to get the list using a
DOS command and then looping through that list - which I have.

Just looking to use a short cut if it exists.

Thanks in advance,
Chuck Patridge
