How to execute external command from SAP

Former Member — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 10:11:12 GMT

Hi gurus,

i need to execute an external command from a Sap (rel ECC.5.0) to a server UNIX (no SAP); precisely i have to write a file into a directory in unix server.

I see transaction SM49 and Sm69 but i don't know how can i use these features.

Please coul'd you help me or give me a documentation.

Thank's in advance

Hi Maurizio,

i do it in this way:

CONSTANTS: CMD_LS(50) VALUE 'ls -al /transfer/sap'.

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB_LS OCCURS 0,

LINE(200),

END OF ITAB_LS.

CALL 'SYSTEM'

ID 'COMMAND' FIELD CMD_LS

ID 'TAB' FIELD ITAB_LS-SYS.

How do you write the file, via an UNIX-COMMAND than try the above call

with your command.

Another way is to write the file via OPEN DATASET ..., TRANSFER ... TO ..., CLOSE DATASET.

If you mean this i can give you an example.

Hope it helps.

Regards, Dieter
