Results:

Enter the path to the SDF file: F:$\backslash$SDF$\_$Translation$\backslash$DP$611.$SDF

Enter the path to the EMS file: F:$\backslash$SDF$\_$Translation$\backslash$Dept$611$EMS$\backslash$EMS$\_$Person$\_$Number$\_$To$\_$Last$5.$csv

Enter the first PP end date $($YYYY$-$MM$-$DD$)$: $2024-05-25$

Enter the second PP end date $($YYYY$-$MM$-$DD$)$: $2024-06-01$

Files saved in folder: Outputfolder$\_2024-06-09$

Now, we need to prompt user of where to save the folder along with its two created files. As you can see this def main$()$ function works just don't know where it saving the folder and files.
