How to set the folder properties in the code under the system of  MS windows 

When start a new clinical study, the first step is to bulid the folders for programmer users.

you can click the mouse to create the folder and set the folder properties on your PC, but how to use the code to do those things automatically?

A quick Google search that there is a utility in Windows (Server) called icacls that does this.

Thanks @Kurt_Bremser
the cmd command is a good option, is there any X command in sas code to grant the read and exectute access?

In excel, the user can record the simple VBA macro code when click the icon of record macro, do you know any software can record the cmd command to create batch file quickly?

[Kurt_Bremser]

The X statement (and other SAS means) executes a system command (like mkdir).

icacls is just another system command, so you execute it the same way.

@ KurtBremser, appreciate your reply & suggestion, I'll try to optimize my code
