If your e-mail is of the form xyyyyy@domain.com (like jsmith@foobar.com ) you can use this to derive the email address from system variable _CLIENTUSERNAME:
/* determine email address from _CLIENTUSERNAME */
data _null_;
emailaddress=trim(compress(lowcase(substr(scan(&_CLIENTUSERNAME, -1),1,1)||scan(&_CLIENTUSERNAME, 1))||'@domain.com'));
firstname =trim(compress(lowcase(scan(&_CLIENTUSERNAME,-1))));
lastname =trim(compress(lowcase(scan(&_CLIENTUSERNAME,+1))));
call symput('firstname', trim(firstname));
call symput('lastname', trim(lastname));
call symput('emailaddress', trim(emailaddress));
run;
%put &=emailaddress;
Hi @tomrvincent. It looks like you're trying to post content that can be shared/library type reference code for people. This is a great idea, please consider posting them as Articles rather than posts. Posts are typically for questions. I also like to keep a set over on github, personal choice.
https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/tkb-p/library
And add New Article.
Looking forward to seeing your posts!

You have not yet achieved the experience level on the community to create your own article. Keep coming back and posting discussion topics though, and you'll earn it!
