validation of email addresses in sap standard

Hello,

email addresses (like in contact data of user or business partner) are validated using function module SX_INTERNET_ADDRESS_TO_NORMAL. With parameter SX_SMTP_ADDRESS_CHECK and value NEW in table SXPARAMS an new functionality is used (Class CL_BCS_EMAIL_ADDRESS).

--> see sap note 1789073.

It is stated that the validation is based on RFC 5322.

My requirement is that I need to enter email-addresses with special character (german umlauts).

According to RFC 5322 special character are not allowed. With RFC 6531 (from 2012) many unicode characters are allowed including german umlauts.

How do I get SAP to use the "new" validation rules, allowing german umlauts?

Thank

Elko

SAP stated as follows:

Currently only RFC 5322 is supported, not RFC 6531.

And it is not planed to support RFC 6531 in the near future.
