Problem in using FTP_COMMAND

[Former Member]

hi all,

in one of our programs we are using FTP_COMMAND to transfer to some other system. if it runs for some long time.. we are getting TCPIP_ERROR exception. we thought of giving some delay and call the FM AGAIN if such error occurs if that is the case ideally how much should be the wait time.. pls advice.

Thanks,

Shiva.

can u paste your code?

Its a normal connection to the FTP server there is no need of a time delay.

Whts your vaule of handle?

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'

EXPORTING HANDLE = HDL COMMAND = CMD1

TABLES DATA = RESULT

EXCEPTIONS TCPIP_ERROR = 1 COMMAND_ERROR = 2.

1>Use report RSFTP002 and test your connection first.

2>also make sure you have your SAPFTP setup in sm39 tcp/ip connections.

Not every time FTP_COMMAND IS FAILING....

some times it is successfully executing... we are running the job in back ground.

some times it is failing after it ran for 11-12 hrs.. so i am thinking whether repeated calls to this FM is giving TCP_IP error. so i am thinking to give a delay if TCP_IP error occurs and again call the FM..

will it work?? if so how much delay i should give.??

Please help.

This is my code.

 CALL FUNCTION FTP_COMMAND
        EXPORTING
          handle        = w_hdl
          command       = p_lv_cmd
        TABLES
          data          = it_result
        EXCEPTIONS
          tcpip_error   = 1
          command_error = 2
          data_error    = 3
          OTHERS        = 4.

What i have to pass in parameter   command       = p_lv_cmd as i am receiving XML file here
