The WRITE= option applies to all types
of SAS files except catalogs. You can use this option to assign a password
to a SAS file or to access a write-protected SAS file.
Note: A SAS password does not control access to a SAS file beyond the SAS system.
You should use the operating system-supplied utilities and file-system security
controls in order to control access to SAS files outside of SAS.
