You can only uuencode one file at a time, are you sure /export/genprd/APPL/ORACLE/inbound/864/*.dat is only matching one filename?

If there are multiple files you will need to do a loop, e.g.

( for f in /export/genprd/APPL/ORACLE/inbound/864/*.dat
do
    uuencode $f $(basename $f)
done ) | mailx -s "EDI 864 MESSAGE" email@dfjdk.com
