Answer / khaja
%macro imp (datasetname=,path=,fname=)
proc import out=&datasetname
datafile = "&path"
dbms = "&fname" replace;
getnames=yes;
run;
%mend;
%imp(datasetname=xyz,path="D:\docs...",fname=csv)
if you want to convert into txt,xls,mdb then simply you use
%imp(datasetname=xyz,path="D:\docs...",fname=mdb)
%imp(datasetname=xyz,path="D:\docs...",fname=txt)
%imp(datasetname=xyz,path="D:\docs...",fname=.xls)
