Did you have a program that did what you wanted before adding macro elements?

[RTelang]

i have created this macro to send mail with the parameters. can u correct d error ?

[ballardw]

I asked if you had a working version without the macro elements as part of the debug. If the answer was 'yes' then the place to look is in the macro elements. If 'no' then I would recommend getting a basic non-macro program to work first or at least simpler to debug.

FILENAME outbox EMAIL ("***********");
DATA _NULL_;
FILE outbox
TO=("************")
FROM=("***********")
SUBJECT=("Example of a SAS E-mail" );
PUT " ";
PUT "Hello Boss,";
PUT " ";
PUT "Attached are the Daily Operational Reports.";
PUT " ";
PUT "uu";
RUN;

So to be clear, your non-macro version does not work?
