Getting output from an OS command from an ABAP program

Hi Folks!

I have a requirement, is it possible to call an operating system command, and also get its output back to the ABAP program that has called it?

For example, from an ABAP program calling the "dir" command from Windows and getting back (as a string) the directory listing to the ABAP program?

Thanx in advance!

Juan.

This is a dangerous command. You can do just about anything at the system level.

But if you search the forums, you should find the answer.
