In reply to Leonid Batkhan.

Of course my passwords are encrypted, then locked away in password protected SAS datasets. NOSOURCE2 option prevents displaying the passwords as they are retrieved, used, then blanked out. Further, the %INCLUDE macro call is stored in my Windows user virtual drive, so no one else can call it. I would NEVER put any clear password anywhere ever. I'm sorry for the flippant tone of my reply. I was trying to convey that no one would ever save their password in the code; I must be wrong about that!
