In an interactive SAS session, the PWREQ= option controls whether a requestor window appears after a user enters an incorrect or a missing password for a SAS data set that is password protected. PWREQ= applies to data sets with read, write, or alter passwords. PWREQ= is most useful in SCL applications.
