Hi Sophia,

This is used for starting UNIX script FRC12K7F.sh in directory /usr/rvs/export/TNT2K7F/script of your application server.

Hi,

'sh /usr/rvs/export/TNT2K7F/script/FRC12K7F.sh' is a unix command to run a unix script, and normally you would have to log on to the operating system to run this.

call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field comm calls this command from ABAP, meaning your SAP user can run a report which also runs the unix script.
