Need help with StartRFC.exe and format error :

[Former Member]

I'm attempting to use the following command line in a Windows XP environment with StartRFC copied to the local drive and is in the path mentioned. The file that I'm trying to send in is what looks like a properly formatted XML file.

C:\Program Files\SapGui\rfcsdk\bin>startrfc -d QAS -u USER -p password -c 230 -l E -h oc-sap-test -s 00 -g oc-sap-test -x sapgw00 -F EDI_DATA_INCOMING -E PATHNAME:C:\filessap\SampleIn_Fixed.xml -E PORT=TESTPORT

Username, password, and port changed to protect the guilty.

Here's the error I'm getting...

format error : PATHNAME:C:\filessap\SampleIn_Fixed.xml

Any ideas? The file does exist, it is not read only and I'm at my wits end!!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Darren,

Try this...

C:\Program Files\SapGui\rfcsdk\bin>startrfc -d QAS -u USER -p password -c 230 -l E -h oc-sap-test -s 00 -g oc-sap-test -x sapgw00 -F EDI_DATA_INCOMING -E PORT=TESTPORT -E PATHNAME:C:\filessap\SampleIn_Fixed.xml

PATHNAME should come after Port

I hope this will solve your problem
