S2KPW= Statement (Required)

The S2KPW= statement specifies the master password for the database that is being created. The password must be acceptable to SYSTEM 2000.

password can be 1 to 4 characters in length, have no embedded blanks, and can be enclosed in single quotation marks. Passwords longer than four characters are truncated, and a warning message is issued. If you specify a special character for the password, it must be a single character (that is, a 1-character password) enclosed in single quotation marks.

S2KPW= is also a data set option for input views for SAS procedures. However, you cannot use it as a data set option in the DBLOAD procedure. For more information, see Overriding Options.
