Hi Eswar,

I think there is no such FM available to validate email address. If it is email id linked with SAP user id then u can get it USR* tables and can validate or if it is a external mail id then try like this.

1.Pass the mail id to a string.

2.check for the @ if exists,

3.go on check for dot'.'

4.if succeed split at this and get the domain into another variable .

5.maintain a internal table with valid domains like com ,net,biz,tv and check the variable of step 4 with this.

Like thie you can build logic around this.

Regards,

Raghav

Hi,

Try with FM <b>SX_INTERNET_ADDRESS_TO_NORMAL</b> to validate the email address.

<b>TYP ADDRESS

INT vijay@yahoo.com</b>

Now run the FM and see...
