SAS email with attachment not working

apeksha — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:29:30 GMT

hi,

i am trying to send a mail via SAS which should include:-

1) An attachment which is an excel

2) A graph in the body of email.

When i am trying to attach the file i get this error:-

there is no documentation for this error anywhere, does anyone know why it happens? is this realted to access? how can i fix it?

The graph in the body of the email contains only a cross in the box. The graph appears perfect in my output when i run the code,, but it doesnt appear in the email body.

here is my code:-

FILENAME myemail2 EMAIL
SUBJECT= "XXX count"
FROM= "wavealerts@XXX.co.in"
attach= "\\10.10.2.51\XXX\SAS Automation\report.xlsx"
TO= ("apeksha@XXX.com")
CT= "text/html" /* Required for HTML myemail2 */ ;
ods listing close;
ods graphics on;
/*options device=png;*/
ODS HTML BODY=myemail2;
goptions ftext='Arial' htext=2 gunit=pct ctext=green;
goptions reset=all device=png;
/*hsize=24cm vsize=12cm; */
symbol1 v=dot i=join c=red h=.5 POINTLABEL=(HEIGHT = 7PT '#perc_viewing_hh');
symbol2 v=dot i=join c=blue h=.5 POINTLABEL=(HEIGHT = 7PT '#Average_Viewers');
axis1 label=(angle=90 rotate=0 "Viewing HH %");
axis11 label=(angle=90 rotate=0 "Average Viewership") ;
axis2 offset=(0,0);
title h=2 font='Calibri/bo' "Weekly - Avg Viewership and Viewing HH % V/S Year-Weeks";
proc gplot data=test.weekly;
plot Average_Viewers*year=2/vaxis=axis11 haxis=axis2 caxis=blue legend;
plot2 perc_viewing_hh*year=1/vaxis=axis1 haxis=axis2 caxis=blue legend;
run;
ODS HTML CLOSE;
ods graphics off;

i also tried the following code:-

http://robslink.com/SAS/democd67/mail_a_graph.sas but i get lrecl too small error. I have tried fixinf it with mentioning content type and lrecl in the attachment but it doesnt seem to help.

has anyone faced similar issues? please let me know if there is a work around.

Thanks,

Apeksha Pathak

If you posted the error message then it doesn't seem to be appearing in the forum.

It is more helpful to post the code from the log along with the error as the location and sometimes an _ is placed at the location in the code the SAS found the error.
