Problem Note 18044: Using SMTP e-mail with SAS® 9.1.3 (English version with DBCS and Unicode support) might cause truncated or missing e-mail output
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use SMTP e-mail with SAS 9.1.3 (English with DBCS and Unicode Support), e-mail output might be truncated or missing.
The problem can occur when you specify the ENCODING= option as UTF-8 in the FILENAME statement:
filename mymail email;
data _null_;
file mymail to="yourid@company.com" from="yourid@company.com"
encoding="utf-8" subject='Ingen attachment';
put 'Her er linje 1';
put 'Her er linje 2';
run;
quit;
Currently the only circumventions are the following:
- Avoid specifying the ENCODING= option as UTF-8 in the FILENAME statement.
- Avoid using SAS 9.1.3 (English version with DBCS and Unicode Support) where the global encoding options are set to UTF-8 in c:\program files\sas\sas 9.1\nls\1.d\sasv9.cfg. Instead use the English version of SAS 9.1.3, which is set to WLATIN1 rather than the UTF encoding.
