SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE - returns an error

Question

Hi All,
I am using the FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to run a unix script which fetches a pdf file written from ABAP code into
application server.
I have written the pdf file, and while run separately the Unix script is working fine.
But the FM which calls the unix script, SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, returns errors which say that the pdf file could not be opened. I have written the pdf file in binary form on the application server.
Please help.
This is my code:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = gv_bin_filesize
      bin_file              = gt_bin
    TABLES
      otf                   = gt_otf
      lines                 = gt_pdf_tab
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2

  IF sy-subrc <> 0.

Answer 1

Hi guys,
Issue has been resolved. I was writing the pdf file in the application server, wheras the Unix script had some other directory as its present working directory.
As we are using the same directory for the purpose, this directory and folder name was hard coded in the Unix script as well,
so that the confusion of path is resolved.
Thus this issue was resolved from the Unix script itself.
Thanks.
