Make sure to check the Requirements of EXECUTE  😉 

If your .dat files are text-based you could could do a simple load and store sequence for each file in the directory:

LET vInputFolder = '\\filer3\equiprd\reports\interco\MI\';
LET vInputExtension = '.dat';
LET vOutputFolder = ' \\delr2\rp\FDR\Desktop\TLM CCY\Export\';

For each vFile in FileList('$(vInputFolder)' & '*' & '$(vInputExtension)')

CURRENT_FILE:
LOAD * FROM [$(vFile)]
(txt, delimiter is spaces);

LET vOutputPath = Replace('$(vFile)', '$(vInputFolder)', '$(vOutputFolder)');

STORE CURRENT_FILE into [$(vOutputPath)] (txt, delimiter is spaces);
DROP TABLE CURRENT_FILE;

NEXT vFile;

LET vInputFolder=;
LET vInputExtension=;
LET vOutputFolder=;
LET vOutputPath=;
