How to get user properties like created by in sas - sas

Question

How to fetch user details for a .sas file or file properties for all files stored in a directory? I am trying to get all possible attributes like: modified date, modified by, created by, for a macro.
data dir_meta(drop=rc file_ref fid);
%let directory_ref = %sysfunc(filename(dirref,&dir));
%let dir_id=%sysfunc(dopen(&dirref));
if &dir_id eq 0 then do;
put _error_=1;
return;
end;
%let _count=%sysfunc(dnum(&dir_id);
do i=1 to &_count;
%let dir_name = %sysfunc(dread(&dir_id,&i);
if upcase(scan(&dir_name,-1,.)) = upcase(&extn) then do;
put &dir\&dir_name;
file_ref='temp';
file_name=%sysfunc( filename(file_ref,"&dir\&&dir_name"));
fid=%sysfunc(fopen(file_ref));
create_date=%sysfunc(finfo(&fid,Create Time));
Modified_date=%sysfunc(finfo(&fid,Last Modified));
output;
rc=fclose(fid);
end;
end;
%let rc_dir=%sysfunc(dclose(dir_id);
run;

Sweta,
Presuming you are using SAS in a recent version of Windows and the session has X command allowed, then you can pipe the results of a powershell command to a data step to read in what ever information you want.
In powershell use this command to see the kinds of information about a file that can be selected
PS > DIR | GET-MEMBER
Once you decide on the members to select a data step can read the powershell output. For example:
filename fileinfo pipe 'powershell -command "dir | select Fullname, Length, #{E={$_.LastWriteTime.ToString(''yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.ffffffzzz'')}} | convertTo-csv"';
* powershell datetime formatting tips: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692801.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396;
data mydata;
infile fileinfo missover firstobs=4 dsd dlm=',';
attrib
filename length=$250
size length=8 format=comma12.
lastwrite length=8 format=datetime20. informat=E8601DZ32.6
;
input filename size lastwrite;
run;
