Detailed Description

Returns 1 if the folder exists, and 0 if it doesn't. Works by attempting to assign a fileref with the filesrvc engine. If not found, the syscc is automatically set to a non zero value - so in this case it is reset. To avoid hiding issues, there is therefore a test at the start to ensure the syscc is zero.

Usage: 

%put %mfv_existfolder(/does/exist);
%put %mfv_existfolder(/does/not/exist);
Parameters
[in]pathThe path to the folder on SAS drive
