SAS^® procedures might fail with a segmentation violation when you use the WEBDAV access method in a FILENAME statement to call a macro. This problem happens when you use the following syntax for the FILENAME statement:

    FILENAME fileref WEBDAV "WEBDAV-URL" DIR FILETEXT DEBUG LOWCASE_MEMNAME;

When the failure occurs, an error similar to the following is displayed:

As a workaround, drop the DEBUG and LOWCASE_MEMNAME options and add PASS= option to the FILENAME statement syntax, as shown below:

    FILENAME fileref WEBDAV "WEBDAV-URL" DIR FILETEXT PASS=password;
