Error while sending email using custom email template using ABAP program.

kiran_jakkaraju — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 01:56:14 GMT

I have created an email template using CDS View and calling the email Template using ABAP and using below code to send email where I am getting " No data supplied to the template" error. Here is the Code Dump. Any suggestions?

ABAP Code:

DATA : email_template_name TYPE smtg_tmpl_id VALUE 'ZZ1_DEMO_TEMP', sales_order_id TYPE VBAK-VBELN VALUE '0000000040'. DATA(bcs) = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ). DATA(email_api) = cl_smtg_email_api=>get_instance( iv_template_id = email_template_name ). DATA(sales_order_cds_key) = VALUE if_smtg_email_template=>ty_gt_data_key( ( name = 'SalesDocument' value = sales_order_id ) ). TRY. " Integrate E-Mail subject and body with email instance email_api->render_bcs( io_bcs = bcs iv_language = 'E' iv_language_default = 'E' it_data_key = sales_order_cds_key ). DATA(email_receipient) = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( 'test@email.com' ). bcs->add_recipient( EXPORTING i_recipient = email_receipient ). bcs->send( ) . COMMIT WORK . CATCH cx_bcs INTO DATA(lx_bcs). " Handle the exception, e.g., log or output error message out->write( lx_bcs->get_text( ) ). ENDTRY.

Code Dump

An exception has occurred in class "CX_SMTG_EMAIL_COMMON". This exception was not caught
in procedure "IF_OO_ADT_CLASSRUN~MAIN" "(METHOD)" or propagated by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated this

The reason for the exception occurring was:
The reason for the exception is:
No data supplied to render email template "ZZ1_DEMO_TEMP"

In the source code, the termination point is in line 55 of include "CL_SMTG_EMAIL_RENDERER========CM001".
include "CL_SMTG_EMAIL_RENDERER========CM001".
The termination is due to exception "CX_SMTG_EMAIL_COMMON" occurring in procedure "IF_OO_ADT_CLASSRUN~MAIN" "(METHOD)",

Can you try to handle the exception? CATCH cx_smtg_email_common INTO DATA(lo_stmg_error). Also, is the sales order existing? How did you create the template ZZ1_DEMO_TEMP? Is it based on a pre-delivered template with a CDS data source?

@rammel_sapdevCorrect, the ZZ1_DEMO_TEMP is based on existing pre-delivered template.

I am passing the Sales Order # required to be shown in the email from the program (just for testing).

sales_order_id TYPE VBAK-VBELN VALUE '0000000040'.

Mostly I may get the data from actual DB later.

The trycatch for CX_SMTG_EMAIL_COMMON gives same error "No data supplied to render email template"

Have you solved the issue? I assume so, as it seems easy if you know the values of IT_DATA_KEY and IR_DATA of the terminated method CL_SMTG_EMAIL_RENDERER -> APPLY (those are visible in the dump).

I am getting error for using if_smtg_email_template interface, saying the use of if_smtg_email_template interface is not permitted. What is the alternative?
