The LIBNAME Base SAS® function does not work with WebDAV library engine.

Consider the following DATA step that assigns a library named _in_ Base SAS® for Windows:

data _null_;

   rc1=libname('_in_','C:\','base','compress=yes');

   rc2=libref('_in_');

   put rc1 rc2;

run;

This code returns to the SAS LOG "0 0". This means that the library has been assigned.

Consider the following DATA step that assigns a WebDAV library named _in_ Base SAS® for Windows:

data _null_;

   rc1=libname('_in_','https://sddgrandfather.sas.com:444/webdav/SDD','webdav',"user=XXXXX password='XXXXXXXX'");

   rc2=libref('_in_');

   put rc1 rc2;

run;

This code returns to the SAS LOG "630249 70006". This means that the library has not been assigned.

As a workaround, use a mapped WebDAV drive, use SAS® Drug Development Desktop Connection, or use the Remote API for SAS® Drug Development.
