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:

 

https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=secref&docsetTarget=n0gzdro5ac3enzn18qbmaqy4liz3.htm&docsetV... 

 

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.
