* VEXTFL file in sashelp library stores these file names. Here is the same program i used to determine the latest file opened and create logs and list files under the same name. Hope this helps.

proc* *sort* data=sashelp.vextfl out=vextfl;

by descending fileref;

where substr(fileref,*1*,*1*) eq "#" and find(xpath,'.sas') > *0*; *

run*; *

data* _null_;

set vextfl;

new_xpath_log=compbl(tranwrd(xpath,'SAS Programs','SAS Logs'));

new_xpath_lst=compbl(tranwrd(xpath,'SAS Programs','SAS Lst'));

if _n_=*1* then do;

call symputx('progname',compbl(xpath));

call symputx('logname',compbl(tranwrd(new_xpath_log,'.sas','.log')));

call symputx('lstname',compbl(tranwrd(new_xpath_lst,'.sas','.lst')));

end; *

run*;

%put progname=&progname;
