Subject:   Converting multiple .dbf files
Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have over a hundred files in dbf format. I am using the following code to convert them:

filename dbdum '/home/foo/yada/yada/yada/file1.dbf'; proc dbf db3=dbdum out=one ;

filename dbdum '/home/foo/yada/yada/yada/file2.dbf'; proc dbf db3=dbdum out=two ;

data temp; set one two; run;

Is there a way to use something similar to the filevar= opiton available with the infile and file statements to readin a list of files.

Thanks
