Help with function SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

Former Member — Fri, 27 May 2005 09:23:38 GMT

Hello all,

I try to execute the UNIX command 'LS' via SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and I use the parameter ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS for the path: /usr/sap/import/

The function translates the path into upper case and therefor the LS command is not able to list the content of the directory.

Has anybody a solution for this problem.

Thany your for your help.

Hello Markus,

Are you executing the function in SE37? If so, there is a tick at the top of the screen that says "Upper/lower case". Make sure you set it on.

If you are running this in an ABAP report, and you are entering the path via a parameter on the screen, make sure you use the additin LOWER CASE.

Hope this helps,

Martin

Hi,

use that variable:

DATA PARA LIKE SXPGCOLIST-PARAMETERS.

e.g.:

CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'

EXPORTING

COMMANDNAME = 'ZLS'

ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS = PARA

...
