I am trying to send email from SAS and everything is working fine and as intended when I type my actual pwd in the SAS code using EMAILPW = option. Since I do not want to use my actual pwd in the program, I created an encoded pwd using PWENCODE procedure and stored it in the file with name 'pwfile'
1) Here is the first code to create the encoded pwd
filename pwfile 'Z:\Private\pwd\pwfile.txt';
proc pwencode in='pwd' out=pwfile;
run;
Now I am using code below to use this encoded pwd but I keep on getting login failure error. Basically, SAS is not recognizing the encoded pwd correctly (as intended).
Here is the second part for email.
2)
Please provide any suggestions to correct this error.
For debugging purposes:
1: Run your program with code as simple as possible using your clear text password. Once that works:
2: Only replace the clear text password with the encoded version (not passed via a macro variable) and run again. Does this work or already fail?
