How would you email an attachment that the name is located in field in a SAS datasets and the name of the attachment will be difference from day to day? Below is the code I try to use but I get an error message.
filename mymail email;
data _null_;
set logfile.logname;
file mymail
to=('bridget_nelson@hesc.ny.gov')
replyto= ('bridget_nelson@hesc.ny.gov>')
subject='Testing'
attach = "D:\Scheduled_Tasks\GnS\" || LogfileName;
strBody = "Testing of getting log file name from dataset.";
put strBody ;
run;
Here is the error message:
filename mymail email;
data _null_;
set logfile.logname;
file mymail
to=('bridget_nelson@hesc.ny.gov')
replyto= ('bridget_nelson@hesc.ny.gov>')
subject='Testing'
attach = "D:\Scheduled_Tasks\GnS\" || LogfileName;
------------------------- -----------

ERROR 24-2: Invalid value for the ATTACH option.
ERROR 23-2: Invalid option name LOGFILENAME.
strBody = "Testing of getting log file name from dataset.";
put strBody ;
run;

An easy fix on your current code is to use a Macro variable carrying the file name. Try this:
data _null_;
set logfile.logname;
call symputx('LogfileName', LogfileName);
/*stop;*/
run;
data _null_;
file mymail
to=('bridget_nelson@hesc.ny.gov')
replyto= ('bridget_nelson@hesc.ny.gov>')
subject='Testing'
attach = "D:\Scheduled_Tasks\GnS\&LogfileName";
strBody = "Testing of getting log file name from dataset.";
put strBody ;
run;
