Oh, gad! I'm a complete idiot. I forgot to put a "/" between my macro variables when I concatenated the path with the file name. Duh. I are a very smart computer programmer. Amazing how much better it works when you get the path and file name put together properly.

However, somewhat in my defense, I'm going to go ahead and say "NOTE: List Handle Creation Failed" is a wee tad obscure in terms of a diagnostic message. "File not found" would have been a whole lot more helpful, especially for a SAS Dummy like me. :)
