Return code 127 for gzip command

Former Member — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:32:41 GMT

Dear All,

While i am trying to ZIP a flat file using below piece of code,

CONCATENATE 'gzip'

lf_unix_fnam

INTO lf_folder_z

SEPARATED BY space.

CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lf_folder_z

ID 'TAB' FIELD lt_result.

This code was working previously. But now it is returning an 127 as return code and my file is not getting zipped due to this. Any details about return code 127 would be a greate help.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sai,

CONCATENATE 'gzip'

lf_unix_fnam

INTO lf_folder_z

SEPARATED BY space.

CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lf_folder_z

ID 'TAB' FIELD lt_result.

in my lf_unix_fnam i have /transfer/data/DEV/file1 which is the path and file name. so for lf_folder_z I will be having gzip /transfer/data/DEV/file1

so after above command I am expecting file1.gz in path /transfer/data/DEV/

but i am gettting a return code 127. Could you please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

check the authorization for the unix file/directory. Also check if GZIP is present and can be accessed, Exit status 127 can be returned by the shell if a command can not be found - which may also happen if authority X for execution is not granted.
