Mark,

I prefer to shell-out and let Unix send the email.  The trick for
attachments is that you need to use the Unix mailx command rather than mail.
Also, I've found that uuencode will prevent some problems with certain
attachments (you can also change the attachement name):

%sysexec uuencode /home2/tmp/xxtest.csv xxtest.xls | mailx -s "Test: Sample"
myeaddr@mydomain.com;

Regards,
Gregg Snell

Hi All,

Regardless if I place the attachment info in the FILENAME or place it in the
body of the email -- it arrives in the email for Windows as an attachment
when using SAS v8.2, and for SAS v8.2 on unix(AIX) the same code appends the
csv contents to the body instead of as an attachment.

Anybody know the tricks to actually make an attachment
in SAS v8.2 for Unix(AIX)?   I thought I used to send attachments
via unix years ago, but current enviroment is not.  Is there a setting or
trick anyone can think of?



/*
      filename mymail email "myeaddr@mydomain.com"
         Subject="Test: Sample" attach="/home2/tmp/xxtest.csv"; */

      filename mymail email "myeaddr@mydomain.com"
         Subject="Test: Sample" ;

      data _null_;
         file mymail lrecl=32767;
         put '!EM_ATTACH! ' "/home2/tmp/xxtest.csv";
         put;
         put "This is an test mailing.";
         put;
      run;



Thanks in advance,
Mark
