This is specific to step 3, sending email.

filename outbox email "xyz<XXX.XXX@XXX.com>";
data _null_;
file outbox
subject='test mail message';
put "hello";
put "this is a message from the data step";
run;

Try this out. Example of first line can be

filename outbox email "jashu14<jashu14@hotmail.com>";

You can also supply From, who is sending the email.

filename outbox email "xyz<XXX.XXX@XXX.com>";
data _null_;
file outbox
from = "abcd<abcd.xxx@xxx.com>"
subject='test mail message';
put "hello";
put "this is a message from the data step";
run;

E-mail from SAS works best using SMTP. On Windows, that's not the default.

Specify the EMAILSYS option and the EMAILHOST option with the SMTP server in your organization. Example:

options emailhost='mymailhost.company.com' emailsys=smtp;

If using an external e-mail provider like GMail, you need additional options.
