What's the Function Module name to execute OS command?

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I remeber that there is a function module which can be used to execute OS command, but forget the FM name.

Does any expert know the FM name?

Thanks in advance,

in transaction SM69 create external command,

call command using function, example:

CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'

EXPORTING

commandname = w_command

ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS = w_output

IMPORTING

STATUS = w_status

TABLES

EXEC_PROTOCOL = LOG.

Hi,

"SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" is the FM which will Execute an External Command.

Hi ,

The FM name is 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'.

You need to create the command in SM69.

You can test the same command in SM49.

You use this FM 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' to execute OS command.

Create the command name in SM49 defining the operating system name and other parameters. Then use the command in FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to execute OS commands in ABAP.

Hi Experts,

Thanks for your reply.

One more question about SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. I need to pass parameters via input ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS. My parameter is more than 380 characters, while the length of ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS is only 255.

How to handle the case? Does any expert have idea?

Thanks a lot.

copy the FM to a Zfm and make your changes...

I use SXPG_STEP_XPG_START, this FM works fine.

I close the message.

Thanks for all your help. Best Regards, Johnney.

Hello , I have the same problem I created a command in SM49 transaction with command name = ZCOPY, and S.O command = "scp". because I want to copy the files in unix (al11) to windows server.

my problem is that I want to copy a lot of file in the same parameter but I only have 255 caracter. If I create a new fuction 'Z' then I have to change a lot of other function that are calling by the 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'.

In the parameters I have to repeat all the time the origin directory:'/usr/sap/DEV/RetencionesWeb/ if i don´t repeated it the file is not found

The command is like this:

SCP

file 1 = '/usr/sap/DEV/RetencionesWeb/26000000012009.PDF'

file 2 = '/usr/sap/DEV/RetencionesWeb/26000000012009.PDF'

Destination windows server

Do you know any way to don´t repeat the '/usr/sap/DEV/RetencionesWeb/?

Thanks,

Lucila
