Send mail using cl_bcs via SAP distribution list

[dschiener]

Hi,

I want to send a mail by using class cl_bcs and a SAP internal distribution list.

That means, I want to create a SAP internal distribution list via SBWP, eg:

Then I want to maintain the mail addresses of recipients in this distribution list.

Then I want to send a mail to this distribution list.

Please do NOT provide any solutions by using deprecated FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1!

How could this work? Any got an idea? How can I specifcy / create a recipient object that refers to the distribution list?

Hello,
did you search? Answer and example codes can be found in few seconds on the internet.

@Tomas_Buryaneksorry for my late replay. You are right.

Believe me or not but in my first attempt I didn’t find any acceptable solutions on Google. But yes, as you already mentioned, there are many of them:

When implementing I was wondering, why none of the mails has been in sent. Analyzing the mails via SOST showed them in an invalid unqueued state. 

The trick to solve this is to call COMMIT WORK explicitly. Took me some minutes to figure out.
