sending email with a hyper link from SAS

[Sivan]

Hi,
Is it possible to send an email from SAS with a hyper link to a file?
If so, can you send me the syntax?

Thanks,
Sivan.

Sivan,

You can send a hyperlink fin a sas e-mail as shown below:


FILENAME mail1 EMAIL
TO=("xxxxx@gmail.com" )
From =("yyyyy@gmail.com")
SUBJECT ="test"
type="text/html"
CT= "text/html" ;


DATA _NULL_;
FILE mail1;
PUT 'Hello!!! ';
PUT "Link text ";
run;

However, it should be noted that the recipient of the email should have access to the url which you specify in the href statement.

Let me know if this makes sense!

Thanks,
Pramod

An example of what I use very frequently:

filename mail email ' '

to=("fred@somewhere.com")
from="me@nowhere.com"

subject="Inventory Report for &sysdate";


data _null_;

file mail;

put "auto e-mail for Inventory Report";
put " ";
put "Click on the blue underlined path below to view/print file contents";
put " ";
put "\\MOFtp\\Directory\InvenRpt.pdf";
put " ";


run;

The last reply does not address the EMAIL content formatting and would be dependent you how your EMAIL client interprets the text-format (default) -- suggest reading up on using appropriate FILENAME statement parameters, as was mentioned earlier in this post-reply thread.
