Increase efficiency
Automation

5. Existing methods SAS® supports three interface methods to send e-mail
MAPI
SMTP
VIM
Downside – Need to tweak SAS® configuration file

6. (Recipients, Attachments, HTML files/links)
Approach
Collaboration Data Objects (CDO)
SMTP Server
SAS Code
(Recipients, Attachments, HTML files/links)
VBSCRIPT

7. SAS® Code Get required macro variables (&name &date &day &month &year)
Create a format to represent the months of the year

9. VBScript code Input to VBScript code may contain 3 strings:
Optional flag to alter the Subject to inform recipients of an error
Full path to attachment
Semicolon separated list of addresses

10. Step by Step Approach
Specify VB arguments and build an object to pull the username from the network. 
Set My =CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Get current date stamp for log file
y = year(now)
m = month(now)
d = day(now)
if m < 10 Then m = "0" & m end if
if d < 10 Then d = "0" & d end if
isoDate = y & m & d

11. Step by Step Approach Confirm your script is called as expected
Enter subject, attach username to the domain and specify the To, Cc and Bcc parameters

12. Step by Step Approach Create Body from SAS® DataSet to HTML
'My .CreateMHTMLBody "<your file path>.html"
Mechanism to send messages
cdoSendUsingPickup (1)
cdoSendUsingPort (2)
cdoSendUsingExchange (3)
Port Used:
My .Configuration.Fields.Item ("

13. Step by Step Approach
Once the messages have been picked up, they are sent to an SMTP server 
My .Configuration.Fields.Item("
Specify the SMTP port number and send the .
My .Configuration.Fields.Item(" ort")=25
My .Configuration.Fields.Update
My .Send
set My =nothing
