Hi.

you can find something you want.

refer this site.

http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/programs/programssap.htm

and look at program <b>RSBDCOS0</b>(Execute OS Command (Logged in SYSLOG and Trace Files)).

in the code snippet, first, find your os type, and then do it.

* Change working directory
  if not cd_path is initial.
    case opsysgroup.
      when 'AS/400'.
      when 'UNIX'.
        concatenate 'cd' cd_path ';' cmd into cmd
          separated by space.
      when 'WINDOWS NT'.
        concatenate 'cd' cd_path '&' cmd into cmd
          separated by space.
      when others.
    endcase.
  endif.

* Execute command
  REFRESH RESULT.
  CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD CMD
                ID 'TAB'     FIELD RESULT-*SYS*.

I wish I could help you

Hi,

Here is the sample coding for the method suggested by Andreas.

Call web address from within SAP

DATA: gd_webaddr TYPE string VALUE 'www.sapdevelopment.co.uk'.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

EXPORTING

document = gd_webaddr

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.
