This example demonstrates how a SAS program running on z/OS can create a file, and then send that file as an attachment to an e-mail message in a subsequent DATA step. The key is the EMAIL access method:

• the FILENAME statement specifies that myfile is written with the EMAIL access method
  
• the FILE statement directs the DATA step output to myfile

The attachment generated in this example is an HTML file, but it could have been any type of output supported by the ODS statement.

To run this example, you need to provide the e-mail addresses of the recipients, the e-mail subject, the data set name of the attachment file , and the e-mail body text. These options are highlighted in red. The reply-to e-mail addresses are optional. The parentheses around the e-mail addresses may be omitted if only one e-mail address is specified.
