Ask basis consultant to create folder ,i think you will not have authrization.

If you have authrization then

try with Transaction AL11 - "Configure" button, You'll be able to create directory.

better to ask basis guy before creating the folder

Hi Manish,

if your authorization is OK, you can issue unix or other system commands from ABAP.

Please refine the code snippets I found in my archive:

REPORT ZUNIXCOM .

DATA: U_COMMAND(200).
* Table for system messages
DATA: BEGIN OF RT OCCURS 100 ,
LINE(100) ,
END OF RT .

START-OF-SELECTION .

MOVE 'unix command' to U_COMMAND .
REFRESH RT.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD U_COMMAND
ID 'TAB' FIELD RT-*SYS* .
LOOP AT RT.
WRITE : / RT-LINE .
ENDLOOP.

(3) this method is supported by SAP and are recomended. On AIX you need to use this method instead of CALL SYSTEM due to implementation error on AIX.

DATA: BEGIN OF TABL OCCURS 10.
  TEXT(80) TYPE C,
END OF TABL.

DATA: COMMAND(256) TYPE C.

COMMAND = 'ls'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE' DESTINATION 'SERVER_EXEC'
       EXPORTING COMMAND  = COMMAND
                 READ     = 'X'
       TABLES    PIPEDATA = TABL.
LOOP AT TABL.
  WRITE:/ TABLE.
ENDLOOP.
