[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to validate a email address which is present in a Char variable. I want to check whether it is in accurate format or not. Please suggest me some function module or code which can do this job for me.

Please Help me out.

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.

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...
