It depends on how you wish to do the valdation ...using the fm SX_INTERNET_ADDRESS_TO_NORMAL, it would give you the local and domain names.

Surely if you wish to carry out further validations on the particular variables...you can SPLIT the same using '.' and do the neccessary validation.

Hi everybody

This did not resolve my problem .FM SX_INTERNET_ADDRESS_TO_NORMAL checks for '@' . IT FAILS IF WE GIVE 2 @'S I.E. ABC@@XYZ.COM. iT ALSO DIDN'T CHECK FOR '.' DOT.

My suggestion for the same would be to use the below logic---

llen = strlen( lemail ).

do llen times.

lchr = lemail(1).

case lchr

when '@'.

lasterix = lasterix + 1.

when '.'

ldot = ldot + 1.

when others.

*checking for any wierd char apart from alphanumeric.

if lchr na sy-abcde and lchr na '0123456789'.

lerror = 'Y'.

exit.

endif.

endcase.

shift lemail.

enddo.

if ldot ne 2 or lasterix ne 1.

lerror = 'Y'.

endif.

--> lerror = 'Y' is Error
