What’s New in SAS 9.4 Data Set Options
Overview
SAS 9.4 Data Set Options
includes one new data set option and two enhanced data set options.
-
The new
ENCRYPTKEY= data set option specifies a key value.
This enables you to use AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption.
-
The enhanced
ENCRYPT= data set option now supports AES encryption.
This enables you to use the AES algorithm for stronger encryption.
-
The default for the
EXTENDOBSCOUNTER= data set option is now YES, which
creates a SAS data file with an enhanced file format. The enhanced
file format extends the observation count beyond the 32-bit long limitation.
