how to add the write and alter password with a proc dataset

alepage — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 22:09:28 GMT

Hello,

The old SAS code was :

data out1a.jourouvrableprovds (write=po alter=po);
set in1.jourouvrableprovds  (write=po alter=po);
run;

Now If I want to use this instead:

proc datasets;
copy in=in1 out=out1a;
select jourouvrableprovds;
run;
quit;

Where do we put the write and alter access with the proc datasets;

Is this what you are looking for ?

libname in1 v9 'c:\temp\';
libname out1a v9 'c:\temp\z';




proc datasets library=out1a nowarn;
copy in=in1 out=out1a;
select jourouvrableprovds;
run;
modify jourouvrableprovds(write=po alter=po read=xx);
run;
quit;

Use a slash to change a password.

data T1(pw=R);
 A=1;
run;

proc datasets nolist ;
  modify T1(write=R/W alter=R/A read=R/RR);
  run;
quit;

proc print data=T1(read=RR);
run;
