Hi,
I am trying to send a mail using SAS 9.3 using the below statements:
filename mymail email To='abc@gmail.com' subject='Connection Status';
data _null_;
file mymail;
put "hi";
run;
When I run it, I get an outlook prompt to allow/deny the sending of mail followed with an error in log:-
ERROR: Undetermined I/O failure.
how to get rid of this error and the warning?
Hmm, undetermined I/O errors are hard. Your code works for me, running 9.3 on Win 7:
1 filename mymail email To='someone@gmail.com' subject='Test email'; 2 data _null_; 3 file mymail; 4 put "hi"; 5 run; NOTE: The file MYMAIL is: E-Mail Access Device Message sent To: someone@gmail.com Cc: Bcc: Subject: Test email Attachments: NOTE: 1 record was written to the file MYMAIL. The minimum record length was 2. The maximum record length was 2.
Maybe you should check your email options, e.g. emailhost, emailsys, etc. Mine look like:
6 %put %sysfunc(getoption(emailhost)); LOCALHOST 7 %put %sysfunc(getoption(emailsys)); MAP
@Quentin: This is what i get:-
51 data _null_;
52 %put %sysfunc(getoption(emailhost));
LOCALHOST
53 %put %sysfunc(getoption(emailsys));
MAPI
54 run;
