Hi @blueskyxyz
As far as I know, the SECURE option is here to prevent reverse engineering of macro code to occur. The goal of this option is to protect source code and prevent its extraction. In practice, it temporarily disables the MPRINT and MLOGIC options so that nothing appears in the log.
Here is an interesting paper about this topic: http://www.mwsug.org/proceedings/2011/appdev/MWSUG-2011-AD13.pdf
Hope this helps,
Best,
You're welcome
