Ludger,
 
 
 
    You can output the filename using the SYMPUT function and then use
 
the macro variable within a title/footnote statement by referencing the
 
macro variable as an &var within double quotes.
 
 
 
data sample;
 
     length filename $20;
 
     infile 'c:\autoexec.bat' filename=filename;
 
     input line $char80.;
 
     call symput ('filename', filename);
 
run;
 
proc print data=sample;
 
     title "&filename";
 
run;
 
 
 
 
 
Anthony.
