Problem Note 56585: A segmentation violation might occur when you use the WEBDAV access method in a FILENAME statement to call a macro
 |  |  |  |  |
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:
ERROR: An exception has been encountered.
Please contact technical support and provide them with the following traceback
information:
The SAS task name is [Program ]

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;
