I am getting email sender as esasspsrv (macro variable as &sysuserid from stored process server) user id instead of getting macro variable as &_metauser or &_metaperson.

how can i get email sender as &_metauser instead of &sysuserid in

<esasspsrv@esessuxpp5.ss.sw.s10.se>

my email logic

============

%macro email_comm;

Data _null_;

    FILENAME myemail EMAIL (&email_id)
    CC=(&cc_email_id1 &cc_email_id2)
       Subject = "Pushed button  to schedule on  ";

     file myemail;
     put "Hi All,";
     put " ";
     put "Pushed  to schedule on  ";

%mend;

%email_comm;


output

Sunilreddy,

I don't believe the filename statement supports a FROM option.  However, you can use publishing to send emails and it does support a FROM option.  See this documentation:

Hi,

Just try adding a from=

   FILENAME myemail EMAIL (&email_id)

from = "&_metaperson. <&_metauser.@mailclient.com> "
There are certain conditions under which this would not work. Depending on your mail protocols.. Hence try it out..
