Summary

This tutorial will take you step by step process to develop ABAP program which will send E mail in HTML format. The email body content is maintained separately in Std. text object; so that it can be maintained independent of Program.

With this; email is generated in HTM format which is more asthetic than a RAW format. Email body can be formatted with all rich text properties like bold, italic fonts, text sizes, tables, etc.

Additionally email body content can be changed without changing the ABAP program; since it is maintained separately in standard text. Program modularization & ease of maintenance can be achieved.
