Sending e-mail to Internet e-mail addresses

In this recipe, we will see how we can modify the existing program so that, instead of the SAP user, we can send the same e-mail to an Internet address. We will make a copy of the same program and add additional code. The class that is to be used, in this case, is cl_bcs_cam_address (instead of the cl_sapuser_bcs class). The method create_internet_address will be used for creating Internet user addresses.

How to do it...

We will now see the changes we need to make to the given program:

1. Instead of the myrecipient object reference being based upon the class cl_sapuser_bcs, we will use the class cl_cam_address_bcs.

   

2. Next, we will call the method create_internet_address of the cl_cam_addess_bcs class for creating an e-mail address.

   

3. We may remove the i_express parameter assignment from the add_recipient method call of the cl_bcs class (since the e-mail is going to an e-mail address outside the SAP system, pop-up express messages are irrelevant).

   

4. Next we define...
