Is it possible to call ms-dos command in abap program?

Hi,
is it possible to call ms-dos command in abap program?
Thanks.

Hi Cemil,
You probably have your answer here:
[Re: DOS/Windows command in app server;
You create your external command with SM69 (you can test it with SM49).
Then you call this command with function module "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE".
(See function group SXPT for all the calls to external commands).

Thomas

Results of Query Wrap Within DOS Command Window.

Greetings,
I am using SQL*PLUS within the DOS command window.
The results of my query is wrapping down the page, instead of using the entire width of the window.
I have set the windows mode command, before going into SQL*PLUS:
MODE CON: COLS=100 LINES=40
So, I was hoping to have Oracle use all 100 columns, when displaying the answer set.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Size of lines, columns and pages are controlled by SQL*Plus system variables
For width of lines
SET LINES[IZE] which defaults to 80
For number of lines per "page"
SET PAGES[IZE] which defaults to 14
To control formatting, including width of indicidual columns you have COL[UMN], e.g:
COLUMN your_column FORMAT a20
For more settings:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/ch_twelve040.htm
If you want certain settings each time you open SQL*Plus, you can add those to your glogin.sql

thanks a bunch guys!!!
Thanks a bunch guys!!!!

you can do that with exec() in Runtime.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(command here);but before you do that you need to read this:

Calling DOS command from a webpage?

How would I go about doing this? I want a webpage that when an image is clicked this DOS command is called:
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen Image_Location\image.jpgThis command opens the image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I'm not worried about portability since this is only going to be on my home network. I figure I'll probably need Java or something to do this, but I've no clue where to start looking. Help is appreciated!

How would I go about doing this? I want a webpage
that when an image is clicked this DOS command is
called:First of all, this is not a Java-related question. It is an HTML and browser capabilities question.
Second of all, in general this is not possible. If it were, imagine the security issues allowing a web page to arbitrarily allow executing anything on the client victim's machine. At best the user has to configure his browser to "trust" content from the site in question. Since you as the application provider can't force this configuration to happen automatically, you're out of luck unless you are in complete control over the clients (such as if they are all within the corporate intranet only).

Arp / Dos command format output

Hi
Im looking to run the arp command within powershell and format the output so I only see the mac addresses
Ive been trying for a while and gotten as far as arp -A | sort-object "Physical Address"
alternatively is the a powershell equivelent of arp? Ive tried Get-Macaddress but tht dosent work.
Generally how do I choose which column info I want from a dos command?
Anyone?
Thanks for reading
confuseis

THis works.
arp -a | %{$($_[24..41])-join ''} | select -skip 3
I can paste these mac address to nirsofts Macaddressview and that resolves all the mac addresses to the manufacturers.
Then is simply pick out all the printers. Hurrah
Thanks
confuseis
If you're searching for printers, you can run
nmap -p 9100 -sT 192.168.1.1-254 -T2
or use page countster: http://www.laptechnologies.com/printers dot exe.
I personally prefer page countster, but I increase the timeout, otherwise some printers will be missed as they don't reply before the timeout. Run it as an admin as it require raw sockets.

UNIX command in ABAP code

Hi All,
I need to use unix command (MOVE) in ABAP code for transfering a file from one directory to another directory.
Can any one help with how to used unix commands in ABAP?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hemendra

The recommended approach always used to be to use transaction SM69 to define a "soft" command name to the operating system command so that it could be configured to work across Windows, Unix etc. For example:
Command name OS Type OS command Parameters for operating system command
Z_FILE_MOVE SunOS Customer mv ? ?
You can then call function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE (quite well documented) to actually perform the command passing in the appropriate number of parameters.

Kunal

Hi kunal,
1. probably ur basis team might be able to help u.
2. even if we have authorisations thru sap
   to run external os command,
   the actual OS user on application server
   must have the right for it
   and access/write/read/modify
   for the files (provided thru the command)
   in question.
3. Due to this , the systems gives the message
   of SECURITY RISK.

How to run multiple DOS commands from a single Webutil Client_Host session?

Hello all,
I have a requirement where I need to create an interface with SVN from Forms for basic checkin-checkout of files.
So, I've been trying to use webutil client_host to open a command line session and issue svn commands.
For svn, sometimes I need to give multiple commands like change to a particular directory and then run an svn command.
But client_host takes in only one command at a time and I'm unable to issue a series of DOS commands to perform
a particular task.
Is there a way to do this?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

First your original question... You can put more than one DOS command on a single line, simply separate each command with an ampersand (&). For example:
mkdir c:\abc & cd abc & dir*
Regarding your concerns about performance, well that would depend on exactly what you mean. Using CLIENT_HOST (or HOST on the server) simply opens a shell (DOS in this case) then passes your command to it. The performance of performing this action really isn't measurable. Basically you are just pressing a button and you should get a near immediate action. As for the performance of executing each command, that has nothing to do with Forms. Once the command is passed to the shell, the rest is a function of the shell and whatever command you passed.
Having said that, if you were to write something sloppy like a loop (in pl/sql) which called CLIENT_HOST lots of times repeatedly, then yes there would be a performance problem because the pushing of the button will cause an exchange to and from the server and each cycle in the loop will do the same.
So the answer to how performance is impacted will depend on what exactly you need to accomplish. If it is a single call to CLIENT_HOST, this should be fine.
