SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

[Former Member]

We have a custom .exe program that is working in our old R/3 46 system 32 bit system.

We are moving to ECC6 R/3 which is a 64 bit SAP system. We excute the same custom .exe executable via SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and the program hangs.

We have tied various security setting and traps which indicate the parameter is passed and the .exe program starts but hungs

Any ideas

I assume that the underlying OS of the App Server is 64-bit as well then.

In which, you will need to re-compile the source code on a 64-bit C++ compiler

OR

Write a new program... why not create the program in ABAP and eliminate future headaches?

Is this .exe being executed on the App Server or on a local client?

[Former Member]

And in what language is it written?

For the two questions about the program:

The program executes on the App server the program is written in C++

OR

Speak to the OS vendor to see if they have a "translation utility" that will enable 32-bit apps to run in the new 64-bit environment.

I believe the problem is caused by the value of the operatingsystem on the SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. We used the SY-OPSYS value which is all upper case. Once we set it to 'Windows NT' it worked! Thanks for the help........
