Thank You

Hi,

Have you tried executing the external commands using the SM69 and SM49?

I usually do this.

In SM69, create a command for your shell script and than you can call this command from your program using the FM: SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

Hope this helps,

Sumant.

Srinivas & Sumant - Thank you both for your help. It looks like Sumants suggestion will do what I need to do.

Thanks,
