Hi ,

You need to creat a UNIX command in tcode SM49.

Command like calling a Shell script as shown below

/usr/sap/trans/bin/zprinter_utilities/zprinter_display_queue.ksh

Once you have created a command you can use the FM and trigger the unix command from ABAP.

Cheers

If it helps dont forget to mark points.

Hello Salvatore

I can give you an example for a command (transaction SM49) which execute an ftp.

- Command name = 'Z_FTP'

- OS command = cmd /C ftp

- Parameters = -i -n -s:?

What does this command? It reads a script from the application server and execute the ftp commands written in this script. The script template could look like this:

*open <FTPHOST>
*user <FTPUSR> <FTPPWD>
*cd <FTPHDIR>
*binary
*lcd <OSDIR>
*get <FILENAME>
*delete <FILENAME>                                            <del>
*bye

Hope I could help you with this.

Regards

Uwe

PS: The ftp parameters are based on a Windows OS system.

you can define the command for each operating system using transactions SM69 (You can test it with SM49) and then call it using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

Go to SM69 transaction.

Choose from menu. Edit->Create.

Give a name for your command and give the actual unix command and the parameters to be passed.

This would help you better.
