So for a file like PDF or XLS or XLSX, you do not have any choice other than to send the PDF, or Excel file, as an attachment. There have been many previous postings about how to do this. As a starter, look on page 7 of this paper: <A href="http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings11/300-2011.pdf" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings11/300-2011.pdf</A> -- the code snippet shows an RTF file being created with ODS prior to the email step, but you would just change the RTF step or either ODS PDF or ODS EXCEL.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Cynthia</P> Mon, 17 Feb 2020 19:50:22 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/How-do-I-make-xls-Or-Pdf-generated-from-proc-report-should/m-p/625416#M23788 Cynthia_sas 2020-02-17T19:50:22Z
