| I hope you do realize that the expected output you want is not possible, at least not in the way you want it to be. The font for the email is controlled by the email client, NOT by the mainframe. If you change your email font to Courier then you'll get fixed-width characters; the default (as you have seen) is proportional-width characters. This is not an option under mainframe control - it is ENTIRELY the email client. |

Hello vasanthz, Thanks for the code, infact i tried a similar code already and it does changes the font size to 12pt and font to courier however the spaces are lost in the transition. Meaning i still get the same output even though the font is changed.. I don't know if it is possible to retain the spaces, it is just squeezing up all the spaces to 1 space.
Regards, Rajat
Output with your code:-

| Why do you need SAS desperately anyways to send emails? There are simpler other ways to do it. |

| Well,certainly SAS is easier than most of them. It is flexible, powerful. |

| IEBGENER, This is mostly used everywhere based on my experience and forum discussion which is very easy, less coding, no need to know SAS and powerfull. |

Guess it is just personal preference. Or maybe I am biased by my joy in SAS programming. |

Yeah, could be.
I hope what you suggested works or TS better be switching over to something else than wasting time around SAS programming unless force to do only by SAS and that's came someone called LEAD.  |

In modern LUW programming, whether the application fails is irrelevant; what counts is whether it fails prettily. We're just trying to get the legacy systems down to that standard  |

Yeah? I've been dealing with a Java dump trace in a z/OS MF function -- and that is NOT pretty no matter how much paint you slap on that pig!  |

Thanks a LOT, This works perfectly well, and Yeah this is off course the test data, I have lot of other stuff which needed to be displayed one below the other in the body of the email so the alignment of data was really very important.
Now its looking all good.
Coming onto selection of SAS, Well i am reading the data and depending on the data/stat I want to email I am marking the importance of the email as IMPORTANCE = "HIGH" !! , this is not possible to achieve in the normal SMTP/IEBGENER scenario.
Thanks Again,
Regards,
Rajat |
