One way would be to execute unix commands.

FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE can be used to call UNIX Scripts. To use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE you first have to create a logical command in SM69. Here you create a command name and in our case we link it to a UNIX Script.

Then you use your logical command to call the function module.

Some documentation for this:

[SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fa/0971fb543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/content.htm]

Hi Micky,

Your replied answer is really very helpfull to me .. But still i got the one error.. function returns the error no 'NO_PERMISSION'.How can i solve this problem. I had written the following code..

where : 'ZMKDIR' is commond which was created in SM69.

addpara containing /devbkp/payslip/CDV/test where test is directory name which i have to create and /devbkp/payslip/CDV/ is path where i have to create directory.

****************************************************************

data: para(60) type c VALUE '/devbkp/payslip/CDV/test'.

data: addpara like SXPGCOLIST-PARAMETERS.

data: protocol like BTCXPM OCCURS 0.

addpara = para.

CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'

EXPORTING

COMMANDNAME = 'ZMKDIR'

ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS = addpara

OPERATINGSYSTEM = SY-OPSYS

TARGETSYSTEM = SY-HOST

• DESTINATION =

• STDOUT = 'X'

• STDERR = 'X'

• TERMINATIONWAIT = 'X'

• TRACE =

• DIALOG =

• IMPORTING

• STATUS =

• EXITCODE =

TABLES

EXEC_PROTOCOL = protocol

EXCEPTIONS

NO_PERMISSION = 1

COMMAND_NOT_FOUND = 2

PARAMETERS_TOO_LONG = 3

SECURITY_RISK = 4

WRONG_CHECK_CALL_INTERFACE = 5

ILLEGAL_COMMAND = 11

WRONG_ASYNCHRONOUS_PARAMETERS = 12

CANT_ENQ_TBTCO_ENTRY = 13

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.
