SM69 problem

Former Member — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:49:49 GMT

Dear All,

I have a problem with definition of external operating system program to be executed from ABAP.

I have an external executable script sndssh which is tested and works from the shell with one parameter without any problems.

ssh -l username hostname /blahblah/$1

Now I want to defined this script in SM69 as follows

When I execute it with FM 'SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM' I get an error External program terminated with exit code 1 in the BTCXPM_TBL

BUT

If i put a contents of the script into the SM69 directly as follows

everything works properly.

The problem is with the scripts which are longer and cannot be defined as easy.

How to solve this problem?

Any suggestions appreciate,

Best regards,

Grzegorz Skorus

The parameter limit is 128 characters as mentioned here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/fa/097208543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/content.htm. See the exception PARAMETERS_TOO_LONG.

This is not the case. The parameter is definetely shorter than 128 chars.

The FM ends with sy-subrc = 0.

I think '&' only denotes one replacement parameter. I see more than one & in my system( seperated by space ).

Also ? is used as a replacement character.

This is not a problem with replacement characters (the second screenshot shows the configuration which works)
