It seems to me that you are using EG to regularly prepare and load data into SAS VA. How often are you doing this? Daily, weekly or some other interval?
We have a similar setup to you. EG 8.3 and SAS VA 7.5. We have daily and monthly jobs updating SAS VA. However we use SAS Management Console to schedule and run those regular jobs rather than using EG. Is there any reason why you don't have access to SMC? It's a far better and more reliable tool for running regular SAS jobs as all of the processing is server-based and not reliant on a PC.
Also there's no problem sending conditional emails as part of the data preparation as explained by @Stu_SAS .
