title: how to set multiple data sets in the work folder using a Do loop?
body: <p>I have 100 individual data sets of demographic information with distinct district names created in my work folder in the following format";</p>
  
  <pre><code>data exampleofdistrict;
  input districtname$ ASIAN BLACK COLORED WHITE;
  cards;
          Aberdeen    0.13 69.14  11.2  19.5
  ;
  run;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>each individual data set like the one above has a district name </p>
  
  <p>What I want is to combine all these individual distrct datasets to into a single comprehensive dataset;</p>
  
  <p>*I have considered using the regular set statment such as;</p>
  
  <pre><code>    data districtscompiled;
      set Aberdeen and *99 other districts in the work folder;
      run;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, my question is, is there a better way to do this than typing the name of each individual data set under the set statement? For instance, could I maybe do a loop within the set statement?</p>
