Password encoding

It's generally a good idea to protect passwords instead of typing them in plaintext in your code. For encoding passwords, there is a snippet of SAS code in SAS Studio. Log in, click Snippets on the left, then expand My Snippets. The Password Encoding file contains the code. Copy and paste into a SAS program, entering the password where appropriate, run the code and copy the output to the password field of your SAS code. The format will be something like {SAS002}65CC6A185C3EDD8C2F9AD46B091C6C21. You can use this string anywhere in place of the plaintext password. Make sure you include the {SAS002} at the start of the string.

Make sure you close the file without saving to delete your plaintext password.

Here is the SAS code itself:

proc pwencode in="<put your password here>"; run;
