Search google for "sas 9.4 dataset encryption" and you will get a mass of documentation to select from.

I have no experience with SAS encryption, therefor I'm searching google.

Searching for "sas documentation system level encryption" gave a list of urls.

I hope next link may help you, otherwise contact sas technical support:

The previous link talks about encrypt= as a sas dataset option.

Maybe there is a possibility to assign this option in the sas configuration file then it may relate to all session created datasets.

If positive use such configuration file within the jcl.
