check email-adress

[helmut_sieberer]

Hello !

i have one question:

does anybody know, if there is a function or something else, where i can check, if an entered email-adress is correct.

i couldn't find anything in the function builder.

thanks a lot

Hi Helmut,

I think there is no standard function module to check the correctness of an email.

If you know that all the valid emails (That are relavent to your company) are stored in a data base table, you can verify the correctness by comparing with those values

Another way is to cook your own logic to check for the occurances of '@' symbol etc using search statement in abap.

Hai Helmut,

I will send you some function modules

REPORT Z_SENDITAB_EMAIL_SREE_13424 .

tables : mara.

DATA IT_MAIL(200) TYPE C OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

• message body:

IT_MAIL = '1st line.'. APPEND IT_MAIL.

IT_MAIL = '2nd line.'. APPEND IT_MAIL.

IT_MAIL = '3rd line.'. APPEND IT_MAIL.

IT_MAIL = '4th line.'. APPEND IT_MAIL.

• to view the following function (cannot be viewed in se37):

• go to sm59, select 'TCP/IP connections',

• select and open 'SERVER_EXEC' or 'LOCAL_EXEC',

• look on the pull down menu SYSTEM INFORMATION->FUNCTION LIST

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

matnr like mara-matnr,

mtart like mara-mtart,

mbrsh like mara-mbrsh,

end of itab.

select

matnr

mtart

mbrsh

meins

from mara

into table itab.

if sy-subrc = 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_MAIL' DESTINATION 'LOCAL_EXEC'

Helmut,

What do you want to check it against?

1. E-mail address in the user profile?

2. E-mail address in Mail server?

From user profile, you can get the e-mail address by calling BAPI_USER_GETDETAIL, then you can validate against that.

Against the Mail server one, I am not sure if we can do that.

Ravi

Hi,

if you are talking about users e-mail address then you can validate the same using the table ADR6.

get the addressnumber and goto table adr6 and check the e-mail .

hello !

i just wanted to check, if an entered string is a valid email adress (in general).

for example:

abc@def@xy.de is not correct

abc.def@xy.de is correct

acd.def@ is not correct

and so on...

just a formal check of an entered value.

Thanks

if v_email np '@.*'.

write:/ 'invalid'.

endif.

This code means that any pattern with a @ and . without following the same order is invalid.

But things are not so straight forward.

I think the effort you put to validate the email is not worth it because, even if it is a valid e mail address by your rules, it may not exist in the real world.

Hello,

check the function module:

'SX_INTERNET_ADDRESS_TO_NORMAL'

This is used in SAP office to check the address.
