Need help with shell script - output of top command

I have written shell script to send file as an attachemt of email and output of "top -o res" command as email body. it works fine if i execute manually from prompt but it does not send "top -o res" command output in email body when it is executed via crontab. Any suggestions. My script is below:
---------------
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh -x
 
FILE="/export/local/user/myfolder"
#### null topcommand.log file ####
cat /dev/null > topcommand.log

top -o res >> topcommand.log
generate_email() {
/usr/lib/sendmail -t <<EOF
To: my@testemail.com
From: `$hostname`
Subject: ALERT : Test Subnect Line
EMAILMESSAGE: `cat topcommand.log`
`uuencode ${FILE}/testfile.out testfile.out`
EOF
}
generate_email

------------------

Thanks

The command AMC-mailing.pl sends by email the PDF annotated completed answer sheets to the students. Email addresses are taken from the students list file. --projet project-dir Gives the project directory. --students-list students-list.csv sets the students list file name. --list-encoding encoding selects an encoding for file students-list.csv (default is utf-8). --email-column col sets the name of the column containing the email addresses of the students in the students list file. --sender sender-email sets the sender email. --subject subject sets the subject of the emails to send. --text email-body sets the body text of the emails to send. --transport transport sets the transport to use. transport may be sendmail or SMTP. --debug file.log gives a file to fill with debugging information. TRANSPORT ARGUMENTS
Depending on the value used for argument transport, the following arguments can be added: Transport sendmail --sendmail-path path sets the path to the sendmail command (defaults to /usr/sbin/sendmail). Transport SMTP --smtp-host host sets the SMTP hostname (defaults to smtp). --smtp-port port sets the port to use (default value is 25). ARGUMENTS IN A XML FILE
