Syntax Description

NETMAC
specifies that SAS use MACs (a one-way hash that is computed from a message and some secret data) for network communications to detect if the message has been altered. If you specify NETMAC, SAS uses the MD5 one-way hash function to convert an arbitrarily long data stream into a hash.

NONETMAC
specifies that SAS not use MACs for network communications.
