After a log of twiddling around I found that my version of "mailx" did not like alternating free text and attachments. We need to output any free text first, then add the attachments.
Also I needed the "-m" switch to "mailx".

The O/P omits to mention which O/S so my attempt may need some syntax changes for whatever O/S we have here.

Ignoring the various specification changes and finer points of layout, this is a reply to post #1 about getting the free text and attachments in the same mail whilst avoiding numerous undefined variables.

Code:
logfile1="/space/dbexport/PHR/log/condition-`date +%Y%m%d`.log"
logfile2="/space/dbexport/PHR/log/encounter-`date +%Y%m%d`.log"
logfile3="/space/dbexport/PHR/log/procedure-`date +%Y%m%d`.log"
logfile4="/space/dbexport/PHR/log/provider-`date +%Y%m%d`.log"
touch "${logfile1}"
touch "${logfile2}"
touch "${logfile3}"
touch "${logfile4}"
subject="CONDITION, ENCOUNTER & PROCEDURE LOAD PROCESS FINISHED SUCCESSFULLY."
(
echo "Input file path and the total records it contains and loaded into the tables are shown below."
for logfile in "${logfile1}" "${logfile2}" "${logfile3}" "${logfile4}"
do
    # get description from filename, convert to uppercase
    #
    desc=$(echo "${logfile}"|sed 's/Export.*csv//'|tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]')
    # get total record count from file
    #
    n=$(wc -l < "${logfile}")
    echo "$desc: $n"
    echo "log file path is: ${logfile}"
done
for logfile in "${logfile1}" "${logfile2}" "${logfile3}" "${logfile4}"
do

    attachment=`basename "${logfile}"`.txt
    ux2dos "${logfile}"|uuencode "${attachment}"
    echo ""
done
) | mailx -m -s "${subject}" id11355@gmail.com

NAME
bundle - collect files for distribution SYNOPSIS
bundle file ... DESCRIPTION
Bundle writes on its standard output a shell script for rc(1) or a Bourne shell which, when executed, will recreate the original files. Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by mail(1). Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1) or tar(1), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is required on the receiving machine. EXAMPLES
bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris Send a makefile to Boris together with related and files. Upon receiving the mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say in gift/horse, then do cd gift; rc horse; mk SOURCE
/rc/bin/bundle SEE ALSO
ar(1), tar(1), mail(1) BUGS
Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-text files. Beware of gift horses. BUNDLE(1)
