filename mailbox email;
data _null_;
set my_log1;
if &sysuserid='uvm472' then do ;

put _all_;
end;
else do;
file mailbox to="Deepti@yahoo.com" subject='not deepti test';

I see three things I would encourage you to look at.

1. Comparing a macro variable to a character constant in a data step IF statement is probably not what you want. I don't know what the value of &SYSUSERID would be, but supposing it is something like USER100, this would be a word that SAS would treat as a variable name. Then the results of this would depend on whether there is a variable called USER100 in the data set MYLOG1.
2. When a data step contains multiple FILE statements with the same fileref (MAILBOX in this example) containing options, I believe the data step consolidates those options the same as if they all appeared in one statement. This means you can't use IF-THEN statements to control FILE statement options.
3. To use a data step to control email options or to send more than one message from one data step it is usually necessary to use email directives. For example, you might write

   put '!em_to! ' to_email;

   to set the recipient based on the value of a data step variable. For the details of the directives, see "PUT Statement Email Directives" at http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lestmtsref/69738/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0ig2krarrz6vtn....

Sorry for the short reply. I hope some of this helps.
