Odd Email Output

RussellNonBrand — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:20:49 GMT

Hey everyone,

I have a quick question. I have the following code to email me an ODS output, but for some reason it emails me two times every time it runs. Any ideas?

Thanks!

FILENAME mail EMAIL

TO= '<email>'

FROM='<me>'

SUBJECT="Promo Report"

ATTACH='/directory/Promo_Enroll.xls';

DATA _NULL_;

FILE mail;

PUT 'Good Morning,';

PUT ' ';

PUT 'Attached you will find the updated Promo Enrollees and Qualifiers by market.';

PUT 'Feel free to contact me with any questions.';

PUT ' ';

PUT "!EM_SEND!";

RUN;

Hi:

I suspect the !EM_SEND -- the EMAIL engine is doing one send; the EM_SEND will end up doing another. When I send email, I use the technique (see page 7) shown in my SGF "Greatest Hits" paper:

And, if you search Tech Support notes, you will find a very relevant note:
