You need to configure SAS with a valid email system so that it can actually work:

Example of Sending E-Mail Using SMTP

The following examples show how you can send e-mail by using SMTP from a DATA step and how you can send your ODS HTML output as HTML and not as an attachment to your e-mail.

To use SMTP you need an SMTP e-mail server that you can access.

To configure SAS to use SMTP, add these system options to your configuration file:

-emailsys SMTP
-emailhost your.email.server.com
-emailport 25.

Ask your system administrator for the location of your.email.server.com. Port 25 is the most common port.

The following code uses the FILENAME statement and a DATA step to send e-mail:

filename mymail email from="yourid@email.com" to="id1@.emailaddr.com" "id2@emailaddr.com") subject="Put Subject Here" content_type="text/html"; data _null_; file mymail; put 'hello world'; run; quit;
