Thank you! I've included sample code below based on what I'm now using, it was initially in a loop to send custom emails to each individual so may have some weird formatting that I didn't catch when extracting it. options nofmterr compress=yes mprint mlogic validvarname=v7 emailsys=SMTP emailhost="MX.COMPANY.ORG" emailport=25; %let plot_output = filepath;   ods noresults; ODS listing GPATH="&plot_output." style=statistical; ods graphics on / noborder border=off reset=index imagename="group_var1"; proc sgplot data=my_data noautolegend; vbar group / response=var1 group=group datalabel datalabelattrs=(size=12pt);  xaxis display=(nolabel) valueattrs=(size=12pt); yaxis label='Var1' valueattrs=(size=10pt) labelattrs=(size=12pt); run; ods results; ods listing close;    ODS listing GPATH="&plot_output." style=statistical; ods graphics on / noborder border=off reset=index imagename="group_var2"; proc sgplot data=my_data noautolegend; vbar group / response=var2 group=group datalabel datalabelattrs=(size=12pt);  xaxis display=(nolabel) valueattrs=(size=12pt);  yaxis label='Var2' valueattrs=(size=10pt) labelattrs=(size=12pt); run; ods results; ods listing close;    ODS listing GPATH="&plot_output." style=statistical; ods graphics on / noborder border=off reset=index imagename="group_var3"; proc sgplot data=my_data noautolegend; vbar group / response=var3 group=group datalabel datalabelattrs=(size=12pt);  xaxis display=(nolabel) valueattrs=(size=12pt); yaxis label='Var3' valueattrs=(size=10pt) labelattrs=(size=12pt); run; ods results; ods listing close;      filename temp2 email from=('from@company.org') attach=("&plot_output.\group_var1.png" inlined='sgplot1') attach=("&plot_output.\group_var2.png" inlined='sgplot2') attach=("&plot_output.\group_var3.png" inlined='sgplot3') to=('to@company.org') subject="Subject" type='text/html'; ods _all_ close; ods escapechar='^'; ods html body=temp2 options(pagebreak="no")style=mystyle rs=none;  proc odstext; p 'Hello,'; p ''; p 'Below are your locating statistics for last week...'; run; proc report data=my_data nowd style(report)=[cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 just=l]; column Group Var1 Var2 Var3; run; proc odstext; p ''; p 'Text'; p '<img src=cid:sgplot1 width="500">'; run; proc odstext; p ''; p ''; p 'Text'; p '<img src=cid:sgplot2 width="500">'; run; proc odstext; p ''; p ''; p 'Text'; p '<img src=cid:sgplot3 width="500">'; run; proc odstext; p ''; p ''; p "Please email ^{style [url='mailto:questions@company.org' linkcolor=white color=blue textdecoration=underline]questions@company.org} if you have any questions." ; run; ods html close;  ods listing;  filename temp2 clear;         ...

Thank you all for your help!    @ballardw  @Quentin  @Tom  It does appear to have been an issue with saving the .png in the work library- not sure exactly what the problem was but when I saved the file to another location (external to SAS) I was successfully able to embed the plots in an email. Not sure why my work library has that path, IT handles all installs for my computer.    I also ended up using ods html and ods html text to inline the image as opposed to the data _null_  or title options in the original article/code. This gave me some flexibility on including multiple plots along with reports in the desired order. E.g.  ods html text= '<img src=cid:sgplot1>';  ... View more

Yes it happens repeatedly- I initially thought it was an issue with my data but it happens with the dummy data (class) as well. With the sashelp data the email arrives within seconds, and since I first encountered this issue yesterday I don't think it's a delay (though could be something weird with spam). I wasn't sure where to go from there since it didn't make sense to me why the SGPLOT/data changing would affect things when everything else is the same.    I'm having some luck using a different approach described in the article to use title vs data _null_ to include the image, it at least is sending emails with the plot embedded. filename sendmail email to=("first.last@company.com") from=("first.last@company.com") attach=("c:\temp\sgplot.png" inlined='sgplot') type='text/html' subject="Email test of GRAPH output"; ods _all_ close; ods html file=sendmail; title1 '<img src=cid:sgplot>'; proc print data=sashelp.class; run; ods html close; ods listing; filename sendmail clear; ...

And this is the log if I run with the sashelp data used in the example, which does successfully send the email with the plot embedded: 1 The SAS System 12:13 Friday, July 28, 2023 1 %_eg_hidenotesandsource; 5 %_eg_hidenotesandsource; 33 34 data work.class (label='Student Data'); 35 infile datalines dsd dlm='|' truncover; 36 input Name :$8.

Apologies, I somehow deleted that ; when copying the code over, but it was there when I was trying to run the data. I've included the log in a reply below.  ... View more
