This is stumping me..

I have code that creates and sends an email to 7 people

When I run it in SAS EG - it works fine.

When I have a cron run it with a ksh it doesnt.

the ksh will work if I send to only 2 people + one cc, but no more?

This is not making sense

 

FILENAME mail EMAIL TO=("name@place.com" "name2@place" "3" etc) CC=("Othername@place") SUBJECT="blah" CONTENT_TYPE="text/html" ATTACH="filename.csv";

Why would it not work with ksh?

Well, never mind. I have found the issue - so I am replying to let others know.

There is a line length limit when running SAS in a ksh..

 

It must have to do with the " " or ( ) in the line.. but at 255 chars it cuts off the rest of the statement.

 

Solution is just to add some new lines in it.

See this:

FILENAME mail EMAIL
  TO=("name@place.com" "name2@place" "3" etc)
  CC=("Othername@place")
  SUBJECT="blah"
  CONTENT_TYPE="text/html"
  ATTACH="filename.csv"
;

If I have a lot of recipients, and I keep them in a macro variable, I do this:

%let rec=rec1@domain.com;
%let rec=&rec rec2@domain.com;

and so on.
