Batch File to trigger SAP job

Question

Hi all,
Please can anyone advice on how to write a batch file to trigger the sap job. For example: If file exists in an external folder (e.g. C:\Temp), a command will trigger to run the SAP job.
Many thanks,
Shashi

You could do this.
Check if file exists.
Do something when it does.
Move file to another directory and rename file with data/time stamp
Renamed file give history of activity
Schedule this program to run every X amount of time
data: w_result type c.
data: w_file type string value 'C:\temp\test_down.spf'.
data: w_file_size type i.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_exist
  exporting
    file                 = w_file
  receiving
    result               = w_result
  exceptions
    cntl_error           = 1
    error_no_gui         = 2
    wrong_parameter      = 3
    not_supported_by_gui = 4.
if w_result ne 'X' .
else.
  write: / w_file.
  write: / 'File exists'.
Do something when it does.
Move file to another directory and rename file with data/time stamp
Renamed file give history of activity
endif.
flush needed for some methods of class cl_gui_frontend_services
call method cl_gui_cfw=>flush
  exceptions
    cntl_system_error = 1
    cntl_error        = 2
    others            = 3.
