Problem Note 67441: The PWENCODE procedure does not consider a blank space at the end of a password
 |  |  |  |  |
When encoding a password that ends with a blank space or character, PROC PWENCODE does not take the blank space into account.
The following two SAS® code examples demonstrate the issue if the SAS002 value that is generated is the same:
proc pwencode IN="password" method=sas002;
run;
proc pwencode IN="password " method=sas002;
run;
run;
proc pwencode IN="password " method=sas002;
run;
