When you search the internet for how to email using ABAP, you’ll be presented with endless links and snippets of code.  Rather than be just another code snippet, I’m going to show you in this video the way I USE email in programs.

Briefly:

• Sending email to notify users or administrators of errors raised during processing.
• Using an include to make it easy to send report output to email.
• Using SAP’s “standard texts” to hold descriptive, language independent, templates for the email body.

In my opinion, email notification in ABAP is one of the most under-used features of the SAP system.  This is due in large part to an inability of many developers to utilize includes and modular design to simplify coding.  Furthermore, I think many SAP managers are not aware how easy it is to incorporate this functionality, and believe that each program requires custom logic to handle emails.

Please comment and let me know how you use email at your company and contact me if you would like some snippets of code to assist you in your development efforts.  I am available for projects of all sizes.  If you need an experienced ABAPer please contact me with your SAP consulting opportunity and I will respond shortly.

Please enjoy the video and leave comments if I can be more helpful.
