Execute a dos command

I am trying to execute a dos command thru sap and specific the delete command.

i tried in 2 ways (i read it to the forum) but i can't do it.

a) DATA : FILE(100),

PARAM(50),

COMM(30).

COMM = 'DEL.COM'.

CONCATENATE 'C:\' 'A.TXT' INTO FILE.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_RUN'

EXPORTING

COMMAND = COMM

PARAMETER = FILE.

b) CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

EXPORTING

• DOCUMENT = 'C:\A.TXT'

application = 'YDEL'

parameter = 'C:\A.TXT'

• DEFAULT_DIRECTORY =

MAXIMIZED = 'X'

• MINIMIZED =

• SYNCHRONOUS =

OPERATION = 'OPEN'

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

error_no_gui = 2

bad_parameter = 3

file_not_found = 4

path_not_found = 5

file_extension_unknown = 6

error_execute_failed = 7

synchronous_failed = 8

not_supported_by_gui = 9

OTHERS = 10.

Hi dimath,

1. I just tried, and now it works.

2. give like this. (we have to use CMD as the command and not DEL)

3.

<b>COMMAND = CMD

PARAMETER = DEL D:\ABC.TXT</b>

Hi dimath,

1. sorry, now this will work.

(this will not even open the dos window)

(it will get opened only for a fraction of seconds, and then get closed automatically)

the file will get deleted.

2.

command = CMD

parameter = /C DEL D:\AA.TXT

(note /C is important)

regards,

amit m.
