You might take a look at PRXCHANGE and other PRX dunctions along with
DOPEN?

SOAPBOX ON

Just some thoughts, that was a 2006 paper, It may predate some of the
PRX functions.

My take on this would be to look at some of the perl packages or
archives. I believe this type of problem is better solved using
somthing like a drop drown to perl. I think it can be done in 5 or
fewer lines of perl code.

SAS is not always the best solution for all problems.
