hi,

i have seen that post.

Function module PFL_COPY_OS_FILE is obsolete in ECC 6.0. I cant use the system command directly as mentioned there.

is there any function modules to do the same?

If ur application server is in UNIX....then create a command "mv" using SM69...

then use the fm SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.

hiii

you can rename the file on appl.server.

just create another file & transfer data in that file & delete old file.

FORM WRITE_DATA. 
OPEN DATASET File_2 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE. 

LOOP AT ITAB2. 
TRANSFER ITAB2 TO File_2. 
ENDLOOP. 

CLOSE DATASET File_2. 
CLEAR: ITAB2, ITAB[]. 
ENDFORM. " WRITE_DATA.

reward if useful

thx

Hi,

You may use SM69 ( SM49 to test ) to define the external command, may be to run the batch file. Create a batch file on the application file .You may execute the batch file by using FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.

I hope this helps,
