Before I go to the SAS web site, is something missing here? How does it know which node to connect to. I get connection refused. With XMIT, I have to issue a TRANSMID NODE and helo NODE commands.

All you need is SAS Base on z/OS. Go to the SAS website and look for the email documentation with examples. Print it, read it and take a look at all the examples. That'll explain what the example below does, how it does it and what you can do, using different parameters, to achieve your desired results. Overhead should not be too bad, depending on what else the SAS job has to do to create the email contents and/or attachment. So, YMMV. The emails are sent from the SAS job directly to your zOS - SMTP task (default) or any mail host server you specify. Here's a very simple example to send an email with attached mainframe dataset as plain *.txt file: //STEP1 EXEC SAS //SYSIN DD * filename mymail email ; data _null_; file mymail to=('[email protected]') cc=('[email protected]') subject='Testing Email from a SAS program' attach=("mainframe.file.name" ext='txt' type='text/plain') ; put 'Testing Email using SAS'; run; Regards, Ulrich Krueger -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pommier, Rex R.

Would I need more than base? Also, given what SAS does to my machine (a small uni) when I run MXG, what is the overhead of using SAS to e-mail out a bunch of 1-3 page reports? Thanks.
