Create a system command sm69 and then execute this command in your program using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE function module. There is documentation associated with this function module.

You can use FM :

FTP_COMMAND

FTP_COMMAND_LIST

FTP_CONNECT

Check the below link :

I created the external command and ran that FM, but the sy-subrc = 6 after executing.

Can you advise what caused the failure?

I also found the statement:

call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field cmd id 'TAB' field result-sys.

do they both work?

Thanks.

Use like this :

data: begin of t_tabl occurs 0,

line(132),

end of t_tabl,

data: lc_command(100) type c.

Get all the file name falling under specified directory...

lc_command(3) = 'ls '.

lc_command+3(45) = p_dir. " Directory of file path

call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field lc_command

id 'TAB' field t_tabl-sys.

Check any files exits in the directory.......................

if t_tabl[] is initial.

message e006 with 'No files exist in the specified directory ' p_dir.

endif.

Do not look for sy-subrc ,here sy-subrc will not work.

Thanks
