Error seding email using SAS Data Integration Studio

I am trying to send email via Data Integration Studio if I have a specific condition, as follows:

My condition is that if my situation variable, which comes from &_INPUT is = 'true', I send the email, if not, the program ends.

However, the following code sends the email even if the sitution is = 'false' or any other string. What am I missing?

data _null_;
set &_INPUT;
if situation ='true'
then call symput('message','this is my message');
run;

filename mymail email ("mymail@xxx.com")
	subject='This is my subject';

data _null_;
file mymail;
put "&message";
run;

Hi @tazz_bh,

If &_INPUT has multiple observations then the condition if situation = 'true' would be executed in sequence for every record in &_INPUT, so if any observation in the input data set allows this condition to be true then call symput() will be executed and message will have been set up as a macro variable with the value of "this is my message", and this would not be overwritten.

If &_INPUT only has one observation, then you might have to disconnect your SAS session as the macro variable message will hold its value between runs.

You can try testing with a new session with a value of 'false' first and see if that sends the message.

If this does not address your issue then please share some of the contents of &_INPUT and state how many rows it has.

Kind regards,

Amir.
