Harry,

I would suggest that the last step be separated as another
sas program, dedicated to do the mailing. There is a risk
that the main program may bomb then email will not send out.
I used to do the similar thing in Unix, one of my coworker
embedded the mailing code in the main code, but once a
while he can not receive the email and the reason is that
the main program did not run successfully.

Never used windows scheduler yet, but I think it should
allow another job followed the main job.

Best,

Ya

Use PROC PRINTTO to route the log to an external file, execute the pertinent
stuff, route the log back to the default location and use the attach
parameter of the EMAIL FILENAME to send it to yourself.

proc printto log = 'c:\name.log';
run;

data a;
  do i = 1 to 10;
    output;
  end;
run;

proc printto log=log;
run;

filename mymail email "mcohen@attbi.com"
         subject="log file"
         attach="c:\name.log";
data _null_;
   file mymail;
   put 'Log file attached';
run;

                Hello All,

                I want to do something which I hope is quite simple :)

                I run a number of jobs via my Windows scheduler at night,
and would
                like to e-mail the completed log files to myself once the
jobs end
                (either successfully or non-successfully).  Anyone have any
idea how
                to easily do this?

                I am running SAS 8.01 on Win 2k 5.0.

                Thank you!

                Mike
