Hi helpers,
I have searched in this community as well as other places, but could not find any solution for holding the email with automated info drafted.
What I want to achieve is run the program and an email will automatically generated an email but will not send so it can be human checked.
Any one can help with how to hold on to the email ? any options there?
Thanks in advance!

The module behind FILENAME EMAIL goes directly to a SMTP agent to send; drafts are done in a mail client before anything is sent, and stored in a kind of database that the client (and yes, your gmail account IS a client) keeps. The FILENAME EMAIL does not have that functionality.
In another way: what SAS does (and the only thing it can do) is the equivalent of you hitting the "Send" button in your mail client.

You could send the mail to the human that has to check it.
@andreas_lds That is I would normally do - I am the one doing the human checking and then forward it to all other recipients.
Would love to discover if any chance to hold the email before sending it
