+
+The downloadFilesTo() macro copy files (in binary mode
+using `filename()` function with options `lrecl=1 recfm=n`) 
+from list provided by user to a directory indicated 
+in the macro call.
+
+Macro can be executed in two possible ways:
+1) by providing list of files to download in a `datalines4`(`cards4`) list 
+   directly after macro call:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+  %downloadFilesTo(</path/to/target/directory>)
+  datalines4;
+  <link to file1>
+  <link to file2>
+   ...
+  <link to fileN>
+  ;;;;
+  run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+2) by create a dataset with a list of links and use of `DS=` and `DSvar=` parameters.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+  %downloadFilesTo(</path/to/target/directory>
+  , DS=<dataset with list>
+  , DSvar=<variable with list>
+  )
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+The `%downloadFilesTo()` macro **does not** execute as a pure macro code.
+
+Temporary dataset `work.______locationInfoData` is generated during processing.
