Hi All,

Im downloading a file from a Server location and then attaching the file in SAS Email code. Is there any solution for attaching file directly from server ie: giving server path in attachment. when i try to give server path it says physical file doesn't exist.

currently below code is working.

 

options mprint symbolgen;

 

/*report name*/

%let report_ext =AMSHPP.EC654350.EASTOPEN;

 

/*paths*/

%let serverfl = /var/data/devel/serial/freight/znative/private/mbg/mbg_batch/main;

%let sas_local_path = /opt/production/znative_sas/SAS_CODES/tmp/MBG_SAS/Email_Files;

 

**output file --lst file;

filename mylst sftp "&serverfl/&report_ext" host="10.193.18.29" USER='dp1201770';

filename saslst "&sas_local_path/&report_ext";

 

data _null_;

infile mylst;

file saslst;

input;

put _infile_;

run;

 

                                            

       filename outbox  email

         TO=(abc@gmail.com

              FROM=('abinitio2linux_emailer@gmail.com')

        ATTACH=("%sysfunc(pathname(saslst))")     /*how can i give the server path here*/                       

        SUBJECT='Requests stuck in a non-final Status';            

                                                                        

      data _null_;                                                     

        file outbox;                                                   

        PUT 'The file is generated with pending data in the attachment';                    

      run;                                                             

  

data _null_;

rc=fdelete('saslst');

run;

Hi,

 

The ATTACH= option to the EMAIL filename statement is documented as

 

specifies the physical name of the file or files to be attached to the message

 This implies that it has to be a locally accessible file. So your current approach of copying the file seems to be proper. Wish I had better news.

 

Hope this helps,

- Jan.
