How to use ${?} and system() function???

Hi All,

I am in a process to send the mail automatically with an attachment to bulk users. I have used 'Mailx' and 'Unencode' commands for the same and those worked fine. Please find below the same.

X " ( cat /sastemp/body.txt; uuencode test.xls test.xls ) | mailx -s 'testing' 'abcd.gef@yahoo.com' "

Instead using the X command in the above code, I want to use 'system()' function which needs to pick up the return code from the mailx command and return it to SAS and '${?}' to access the mailx return.

Could anyone let me know the syntax of system() function and '${?}' commands??

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your time,
Manas
