Integrating External Operating System Commands into ABAP program.

Hi folks,

using the transaction code sm69 it is possible to create an SAP command that's executing an operating system command.

Is it possible to integrate such an SAP command into our ABAP programs ?

How would we do so ?

Regards

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

We have an easier way of achieving this without declaring a command in SM69.

Try the below piece of code:

DATA: command LIKE rs37a-line.
DATA: BEGIN OF tabl OCCURS 0,
          line(2000),
      END OF tabl.
 
command = 'ls -l'.
 
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD command
              ID 'TAB'     FIELD tabl-*sys*.

Replace the string in the variable 'comand' with any UNIX command.
