In this example, the
DATASETS procedure statement assigns the passwords MYPW and MYDEPT
with READ and ALTER levels of protection to the view descriptor VLib.JobC204:
PROC DATASETS LIBRARY=vlib MEMTYPE=VIEW;
MODIFY jobc204 (READ=mypw ALTER=mydept);
RUN; For detailed information
about the levels of protection and the types of passwords that you
can use, refer to your Base SAS software documentation.
