OS Command net use, SM69 - write to networkdrive

Hi,

we are on a 4 .7 system.

we need to write from ABAP to a networkdrive by first initializing the connection to it, as it is not permanently mapped to the sap application server. There is a dos os-command

"net use <drive>:
remoteserver\share password /user:domainname\username" which works fine fom dos prompt.

i put it in a sm69 command.

testing in sm49 shows:

if the drive letter already exists on the sending server, I get an error message, that tells exactly the driveletter is occupied.

otherwise I get:

 System error 67 has occurred.                 
                                               
 The network name cannot be found.             
                                               
 External program terminated with exit code 2

In my case I noticed, that I can miss out the password/user part and the sm49 test seems to work, if the driveletter is free - I don't get any other messages, neither success or failure

now I put the command (without password/user) in FM SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM, which only expects the commandname and one optional parameter, but I get an exception:

X_ERROR

if I use the FM with the longer version including password/user I get the same error as above:

 System error 67 has occurred.                 
                                               
 The network name cannot be found.             
                                               
 External program terminated with exit code 2

some ideas about this?

regards, matthias

Hi Mathias,

sorry I don't remember the details: I think you have to or have <b>not</b> to enclose the parameter values in quotes. Try both.

Then it may be important if you specified the command in upper/lower case letters - try both.

I think the command entry should be just 'net', the rest to be passed as PARAMETERS.

It may help to issue the net comand first with parameter 'use /delete' to free the drive letter if it is already occupied,

Regards,

Clemens
