The following example illustrates how to use PROC PWENCODE to encrypt a password contained in an external text file, define the encrypted output as a macro variable, and use the macro value in a WebDAV LIBNAME statement:

filename pwfile 'c:\pass.txt';

proc pwencode in='XXXXXXXX' out=pwfile;

run;

filename pwfile 'c:\pass.txt';

options symbolgen;

data _null_;

      infile pwfile obs=1 length=l;

      input @;

      input @1 line $varying1024. l;

      call symput('password',substr(line,1,l));

run;

libname mydata "https://<Your instance>/webdav/SDD/" webdav user="<Your SDD User Name>" pw="&password";

proc print data=mydata.demo;

run;
