SAS 9.4 Language Reference, 6th Edition

SAS 9.4 supports the use of metadata-bound libraries for enhanced data security. A

metadata-bound library is a physical library that is tied to a corresponding metadata

secured table object. See “Metadata-Bound Libraries” on page 743.

Beginning in SAS 9.4M1, a metadata-bound library administrator can require that all

data files in the bound library be encrypted with one of the two algorithms. For more

information, see “Requiring Encryption for Metadata-Bound Data Sets” in Base SAS

Procedures Guide.

Beginning in SAS 9.4M5, in the V9 engine, AES2 provides more security than AES. For

more information, see Encryption in SAS.

Column Headings in VIEWTABLE

Beginning in SAS 9.4M1, you can save either column labels or column names for the

data set that you are viewing in VIEWTABLE.
