Run it from a script, first you create the file using filepro then 
you email that file as the second command in the script.

example (the lines will wrap):
/u1/fp/dreport debtmaster -f overduecontact -a -u -y xc -v 
voverduecontact -p /u/financial/FILEPROREPORTS/overduecontact.doc

/usr/local/bin/lightmail/lightmail -f rtr at rsquared.com -t 
mail.rsquared.com -a /u/financial/FILEPROREPORTS/overduecontact.doc 
-s "Debtworks Over Due Contacts Report for `date '+%A %B %d, %Y'`" -r 
rtr@@rsquared.com -m /u1/message/overduecontact

There are some environment variables that need to be set in the 
beginning of the script.
