Subject:      Re: Can you hide SAS code?

As was mentioned in an earlier thread about hiding code:

You can write the code to be submitted to a SAS WORK catalog entry, and then
%include it.
When the submit continue returns, you would delete the catalog you just
%included from.  The catalog and the entry are now gone.

  rc = filename ('coderef', 'work.submit.code.source', 'catalog');
  ... write data and proc step code to coderef catalog entry ...
  submit continue;
  %include coderef;
  endsubmit;
  rc = filename('coderef', '');
  rc = delete ('work.submit', 'catalog');

Another, perhaps more effective way, is to issue the command CLEAR RECALL.

  submit continue;
  ...
  endsubmit;
  call execcmdi ('CLEAR RECALL');
