Hello All,

Please do the needful. Thanks!!

If you're using SAS Codes to shoot an email, you can use filename statement, SMTP Access method, Here's a link:

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a002058232.htm

In this method you've option "From=" ; Use this option in and give it to the other name;
For eg:

from="Kalind Patel <Kalind.Patel@xxx.com>";

Hope it helps!

If I understand you correctly, you want to change the name/address of the sender, so that you can send on behalf of your department or whatever.

You can do that using the FROM= option in the email filename specification. You can also specify the return address using the SENDER=option (if the mail cannot be delivered, the error message will be sent to the email address given here).

You can also do it dynamically, by using PUT "!EM_FROM! <address>" or PUT "!EM_SENDER! <address>" in your datastep.
