Definition

The function module entered in this field is used to generate an alias/user name for the Internet user.

The function module is only used if it has not been specified that the customer is to choose the alias themselves and if the corresponding field was left blank during dialog processing.

The interface for the function module is defined as follows:
Import parameter PS_RJKWWW_ADDRESS, type RJKWWW_ADDRESS
Export parameter PS_USERALIAS, type USALIAS.

The task of the function module is to ensure that the alias generated has not been used before - the alias or user name is unique for a user. You can use function module ISM_WWW_ALIAS_GENERATE as a template.
