How to call third party executable file from SAP as a modal.

I have a drum filling system. I want to call executable file of drum system which take a weight from instrument and write a text file. After completion of this SAP will read that text file and write it to screen.

the best way to do it is using RFC (remote function call)

your drum tool should be compatible in order to do it

if not you can still send a command to operating system in order to execute your tool but this is a second choice

Maybe method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE could fulfil your requirement.
