Running a batch file kept on the server

Question

Hi ,
I need to upload a file onto the application server then i have to call a batch file from my ABAP code kept on the same server .
The batch file takes 3 inputs the uploaded filename onto the server the new file name ( that can be any name ) and the delete flag parameter ( 0 or 1 ).
Is there any function module to do the same ??

Answer 1

Hi,
Follow the steps:
1) Define external operating system command say zcopytm1 using SM69 by using the following parameters:
Command name                            Operating system       Type
ZCOPYTM1                                Windows NT             Customer
Operating system command
e:\tm1out\tm1ph.bat
Parameters for operating system command
Leave this blank
tm1ph.bat is the batch file which it will execute.
2) First test it using SM49. Once satisfied use the following code to execute it thru ABAP:
DATA: BEGIN OF t_copy OCCURS 1.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE btcxpm.
DATA: END OF t_copy.
DATA:      statusline LIKE btcxp3-exitstat.
  CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'
         EXPORTING
            commandname            = 'zcopytm1'
            status                              = statusline
         TABLES
            exec_protocol                       = t_copy
         EXCEPTIONS
            no_permission                       = 1
            command_not_found                   = 2
            parameters_too_long                 = 3
            security_risk                       = 4
            wrong_check_call_interface          = 5
            program_start_error                 = 6
            program_termination_error           = 7
            x_error                             = 8
            parameter_expected                  = 9
            too_many_parameters                 = 10
            illegal_command                     = 11
            wrong_asynchronous_parameters       = 12
            cant_enq_tbtco_entry                = 13
            jobcount_generation_error           = 14
        OTHERS                              = 15
  CASE sy-subrc.
    WHEN 0.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'File has been copied in G:\public\tm1ph'.
    WHEN 1.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'No_permission'.
    WHEN 2.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Command_not_found'.
    WHEN 3.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Parameters_too_long'.
    WHEN 4.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Security_risk'.
    WHEN 5.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Wrong_check_call_interface'.
    WHEN 6.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Program_start_error'.
    WHEN 7.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Program_termination_error'.
    WHEN 8.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'X_error'.
    WHEN 9.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Parameter_expected'.
    WHEN 10.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Too_many_parameters'.
    WHEN 11.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Illegal_command'.
    WHEN 12.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Wrong_asynchronous_parameters'.
    WHEN 13.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Cant_enq_tbtco_entry'.
    WHEN 14.
      MESSAGE s999 WITH 'Jobcount_generation_error'.
  ENDCASE.
I hope this helps,
