For printing purposes, use a format.  For example:

proc format;
value $pw other='*****';
run;

proc print data=have;
var id password;
format password $pw.;
run;

Hi,

Run the code below on SASStudio or Enterprise Guide

proc pwencode in="YourPassWord";

run;

You find the encoded password in results starting with {SAS002}XXXXXXXXXX
