Send sas7bdat format file through SAS

[Min3]

I created a macro, and try to use the macro to send a .sas7bdat file to an email. And I got the error message of "ERROR: An attachment record was truncated. The attachment LRECL is too small.", even after I specified the LRECL=32767, and file type as filetype=application/octet-stream, extension = sas7bdat. The code is as below.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

%macro email2box(emailaddress=, filepath=, filetype=);

filename MailBox email "&emailaddress" attach="&filepath";

data _null_;
file MailBox;
put '!EM_ATTACH!' "&filepath" LRECL=32767;
put '!EM_CONTENTTYPE!' "&filetype" extension = 'sas7bdat';

run;

%mend email2box;

%email2box(emailaddress=abc@u.box.comm,filepath=/box/icon_lab.sas7bdat, filetype=application/octet-stream);

There does not seem to be a fix for this error yet:

Another option would be to create a transport file using proc Cport. This will require a recipient to use Proc Cimport to bring it into the SAS system but these files are intended for interchange between different systems, are text files and may be less sensitive to things that binary files encounter and may be preferred if sending to different operating systems.

Try this:

filename MailBox email
  to="&emailaddress"
  attach=("&filepath" content_type="application/x-sas")
;

Thanks everybody for your replies.

I tried 

filename MailBox email
  to="&emailaddress"
  attach=("&filepath" content_type="application/x-sas")
;

But somehow, it still doesn't work for me.

It does not work for me either - does not give an error, just doesn’t send any email.
