S2KPW= password;

Details

The S2KPW= statement specifies the master password for the database that will be created.

The password must be acceptable to SYSTEM 2000 software. The password can be one to four characters long, with no embedded blanks, and optionally enclosed in single quotes. Passwords longer than four characters will be truncated with a warning message. If you specify a special character for the password, it must be a single character (that is, a one-character password) enclosed in single quotes.

S2KPW= is also a data set option for input data views for SAS procedures. However, you cannot use it as a data set option for the DBLOAD procedure. For more details about the S2KPW= data set option, see Data Set Options.
