st: RE: saving all file names in directory/folder
According to the online help under
whelp extended_fcn
the syntax of your -local- command should be
local myfiles: dir "C:\data\kingdom" files "*.csv"
I hope this helps.

Subject: st: saving all file names in directory/folder
what wrong with my syntax?
I am trying to save all the csv files in a folder for an append.
local myfiles: dir "C:\data\kingdom\*.csv"
foreach file of local myfiles {
display "`file'"
}
An explanation as to why the above doesn't work is also welcomed
