Hello,
email addresses (like in contact data of user or business partner) are validated using function module SX_INTERNET_ADDRESS_TO_NORMAL. With parameter SX_SMTP_ADDRESS_CHECK and value NEW in table SXPARAMS an new functionality is used (Class CL_BCS_EMAIL_ADDRESS).
--> see sap note 1789073.
It is stated that the validation is based on RFC 5322.
My requirement is that I need to enter email-addresses with special character (german umlauts).
According to RFC 5322 special character are not allowed. With RFC 6531 (from 2012) many unicode characters are allowed including german umlauts.
How do I get SAP to use the "new" validation rules, allowing german umlauts?
Thank
Elko
