Solved: How to left align _INFILE_ in an email

fre · Posted 10-18-2022 04:55 AM

Hi,

i'm using some code - see below - to send myself an e-mail, where the body contains:

- first paragraph

- output from a table

- last paragraph

The first and last paragraph are left-aligned, which is good.

But the output from the table is center-aligned, which I want to change to also left-aligned.

I can't make that work.

What I tried to do in my code below is put '<p align="left"> _infile_ </p>'; - but that didn't give me the wanted result.

Does anyone has a solution for this?

%macro email_output;

%if &totobs. > 0 %then %do;

	filename REPORT "%sysfunc(pathname(work))\test.html";
		filename SEND email to           = "x.y@z.z.z"
		                    subject      = "WEBSERV: error!"
		                    from         = "x.y@z.z.z"
		                    content_type = "text/html";


		ods html file=REPORT;
		proc print data=WORK.QUERY_CHECK_DOUBLES; run;
		ods html close;

		data _null_;
					
		  infile REPORT;
		  file SEND;
		  input;

			if _infile_ = '<html>' 
				then do;
					put '<p>First Paragraph </p>';
					
				end;
		  		

			if _infile_ ne '</html>' 
				then
					put _infile_ ; 
					/* put '<p align="left"> _infile_ </p>';*/
		  		else do;
		  			put '<p>Last Paragraph</p></html>';
		  		end;
		run;




%end;

%mend;
