Building email address

[tomrvincent]

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!

I had never heard of or seen that...thanks for the suggestion.

just tried it...got this:

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!

oh, well...
