Hi,

Did you encode the transport file when you mailed it?  The transport file is binary format and can't be send as is through the e-mail.  Our mailers that we use interactively handle this on their own.

The basic mailer doesn't handle binary files.  You'll want to use the elm mailer (which requires mimencode) or smtp.

If you search the SAS-L Archives,

then you'll find a lot of good help.

HTH

Good luck,

Chuck

proc cimport library=newlib infile=tranfile;
run;
ERROR: Given transport file is bad.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
