Solved: Re: Cant Send multiple chart embedded by mail

LorenaPalacios · Posted 10-14-2018 11:39 PM

Hello. I need to send by mail more than one embedded chart. The following sentence works correctly when it is one but I can not send more than one chart. Can you also indicate how to send an e-mail and a proc report and a sgplot proc?

Thanks!

Hello,

At this point, your code looks pretty good. But I do have a few more suggestions for you.

At the very top of your code, before you create your graphics output, reset any active/old titles and footnotes by adding the following two statements to the code:

title1;

footnote1;

Then, move the following two statements:

footnote1 '<img src=cid:graf1>';
footnote2 '<img src=cid:graf2>';

Down a bit so that they now appear right after the following statement:

ods html3 file=sendmail style=sasweb;

Let me know if this does not resolve the issue.

Regards, Martin

To send multiple graphs via email, you can specify multiple graphs for the ATTACH option on the FILENAME statement and then add additional PUT statements to the DATA step code (one PUT statement per graph). Here is sample code which demonstrates this:

filename sendmail email
       to      = ("first.last@company.com" )
       from    = ("first.last@company.com")
       attach = ("&workdir.\email1.png" inlined='email1' "&workdir\email2.png" inlined='email2')
       type    = 'text/html'
       subject = "Email test of GRAPH output";

data _null_;
   file sendmail;
   put '<html>';
   put '<body>';
   put '<img src=cid:email1>';
   put '<img src=cid:email2>';
   put '</body>';
   put '</html>';
run;

filename sendmail clear;

Below is sample SAS code which emails a graph followed by PROC REPORT output. The graph is added to the email via the following TITLE statement in the code (right before the PROC REPORT step):

title1 '<img src=cid:sgplot>';

Here is the sample code:

filename sendmail email

to = ("first.last@company.com" )

from = ("first.last@company.com")

attach = ("&workdir.\sgplot.png" inlined='sgplot')

type = 'text/html'

subject = "Email test of GRAPH output";

ods _all_ close;

ods html3 file=sendmail style=sasweb;

title1 '<img src=cid:sgplot>';

proc report data=sashelp.class;

run;

ods html3 close;

ods listing;

filename sendmail clear;

thank you!! Your example to créate

More than one charts worked perfectly but when I try to add the Report below just like the example, the mail show an "x" where the graph should go and then the report. Any suggestions?

I show you the code

thanks again (sorry for my english)

Hello, Since on the following statement you named your two graphs GRAF1 and GRAF2 using the INLINED option: filename sendmail email to=("first.last@company.com") from=("first.last@company.com") attach = ("&workdir.\graf1.png" inlined='graf1' "&workdir.\graf2.png" inlined='graf2') type='text/html' subject="Emailing graphics output"; To then reference the first graph later on in the code, modify the following statement: title1 '

'; So that it references GRAF1, for example: title1 '

'; Additionally, if you want to place GRAF1 before the report and GRAF2 after the report, you can use: title1 '

'; footnote1 '

'; Regards, Martin

Hello,

Since my last reply was not formatted correctly, let me try one more time...

Since on the following statement you named your two graphs GRAF1 and GRAF2 using the INLINED option:

filename sendmail email to=("first.last@company.com") from=("first.last@company.com")

attach = ("&workdir.\graf1.png" inlined='graf1' "&workdir.\graf2.png" inlined='graf2')

type='text/html' subject="Emailing graphics output";

To then reference the first graph later on in the code, modify the following statement:

title1 '<img src=cid:sgplot>';

So that it now looks like this:

title1 '<img src=cid:graf1>';

Additionally, if you want to place GRAF1 before the report and GRAF2 after the report, you can use:

title1 '<img src=cid:graf1>';

footnote1 '<img src=cid:graf2>';

Regards, Martin

Thank you very much for your response.

It has helped me a lot, however in each graphic below the legend I add the text " '<img src=cid:graf1>" just like I show you in the example.

I need all the graphics after the report

I copy the code to verify that it is correct.

Thanks again you has been really very kind

filename sendmail email to=("firstname@company.com") from=("firstname@company")
     attach = ("&workdir.\graf1.png" inlined='graf1'   "&workdir.\graf2.png"   inlined='graf2')
     type='text/html' subject="Emailing graphics output";
     options emailsys=smtp;
   options emailhost="xxx";
ods _all_ close;

footnote1 '<img src=cid:graf1>';
footnote2 '<img src=cid:graf2>';

ods html3 file=sendmail style=sasweb;
proc report data=sashelp.class;
run;

ods html3 close;
ods listing;
filename sendmail clear;

I have 3 proc report and 2 proc sgplot. I have to send the first graph after the second report and the second graph after the third report. Might you help me? I can not locate them correctly Thank you very much

MartinMincey · Posted 10-18-2018 04:15 PM

Hello,

If your two graphs are named GRAF1 and GRAF2 on the ATTACH option on the FILENAME statement, you should be able to accomplish this by structuring your code similar to the following...

title1; footnote1;

proc report data=sashelp.cars;

where make="Honda";

run;

proc report data=sashelp.cars;

where make="Audi";

run;

title1 '<img src=cid:sgplot>';

footnote1 '<img src=cid:sgplot1>';

proc report data=sashelp.cars;

where make="BMW";

run;

Where the TITLE1 and FOOTNOTE1 statements in this case appear only before the third PROC REPORT step.

Regards, Martin

MartinMincey · Posted 10-18-2018 04:17 PM

Hello,

I did have a typo in my last reply. If the graphs are named GRAF1 and GRAF2, the code should actually look similar to the following...

title1; footnote1;

proc report data=sashelp.cars;

where make="Honda";

run;

proc report data=sashelp.cars;

where make="Audi";

run;

title1 '<img src=cid:graf1>';

footnote1 '<img src=cid:graf2>';

proc report data=sashelp.cars;

where make="BMW";

run;
