Creating "nice" references to long links in mails generated from SAS

Gardin — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 09:48:14 GMT

Hi there,

I use SAS to auto generate several thousands mails, and I have spend some time on reading how to make a nice link based on a long technically link, but somehow unsuccessful.

%macro excelsheets;
%do i=1 %to 1;
%if &i=1 %then %let init=xxxx;

filename ulmail email from = "yyyy@zzzzzzz.com" type="text/html";
data _null_;
file ulmail;
put "!EM_SENDER! yyyy@zzzzzzz.com";
put "!EM_TO! &xxxx@zzzzzzz.com " ;
*put "!EM_CC! rly@novozymes.com " ;
put "!EM_SUBJECT! Your personal TD data" ;

put "Dear xxxx,"
//
put "As an employee, you should store 2018/2019 targets and evaluations, CV and personal job descriptions safely "
"where only relevant people have access to them, as these contain personal data. We recommend you save them 
on your OneDrive, share a link with your leader and delete any copies in your mailbox.  Any general job descriptions can be stored in Luna or MyMS
where a broader group of people can be granted access as these do not contain personal data. As a people manager, you must follow the <ul>guidelines</ul> on good archiving practice for people managers. "//
"To support your people performance dialogs in 2020, P&O will have an updated toolbox ready in January including inspiration for impactful dialogs and tools for driving the offline process. " //
"If you have any questions please go to the https://zymernet.nzcorp.net/intranet/p-and-o/annual-people-processes/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/SitePages/Ahead.aspx - Ahead page on Zymernet, ask the P&O chatbot available on all P&O Zymernet pages or reach out "/
"through the ASK P&O emails in each region. "//;

put "Best regards"/
"HR"
;

put '!em_attach! ("C:\TD2018\Targets_Development_2018_&init..docx"  "C:\TD2019\Targets_Development_2019_&init..docx")';
put '!EM_SEND!';
put '!EM_NEWMSG!';
put '!EM_ABORT!';
run;
%end;
%mend;
%excelsheets
;

Viewing my result mail looks like the following:

If you have any questions please go to the https://zymernet.nzcorp.net/intranet/p-and-o/annual-people-processes/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/SitePages/Ahead.aspx - Ahead page on Zymernet, ask the P&O chatbot available on all P&O Zymernet pages or reach out to through the ASK P&O emails in each region.

I have tried

put <a ref="https:\\zymernet............aspx"> Guideline page </a>;

and some other variant without success.

hope someone out there can spot my error or help me explain what I am doing wrong?

Try to add

put '!EM_TYPE!text/html';

and see if your <a tag works then.
