Kill viewer-application

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can anybody tell me the syntax to kill a windows application (an application to view archived documents) in an ABAP program. The class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES has only a method to execute an application, but not to stop it.

Probably it will run with function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, but I don't know the command to kill the application with DOS. The command NET STOP <servicename> wasn't successful yet.

How it can be done, and where can I get some information on it?

Best Regards,

Hi dominik,

1. In windows, there is no direct

dos command

to kill a process.

Hi Amit,

for project reasons I continued to work on the problem no more than a day ago. The solution is below-mentioned .

MOVE 'TASKKILL /IM ALVIEWER.EXE' TO ld_command.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_EXEC'

EXPORTING

COMMAND = ld_command

• PARAMETER =

IMPORTING

RETURNCODE = ld_return .

Best regards,

Dominik
