If you told us what value is in w_runstring I think it would improve your chances of a useful reply.

Was the file actually moved? In certain releases Call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' .... returns -1 even though the command was issued successfully.

If you want to apply error handling take a look at SAP note 677435 which explains the supported methods for calling o/s commands. As Call 'system'... is not actually supported it can do unpredictable things.
