Check the ABAP class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES, this will allow you to copy and delete files on the frontend.

Hi Andreas

In the below code what is the significance of

'TAB' FIELD TABM-SYS.

and how will I handle error

DATA: COMMAND(200).

DATA: BEGIN OF TABL OCCURS 0,

LINE(255),

END OF TABL.

command = 'mv /home/prd/file.in /home/prd/processed/file.out'.

CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD COMMAND ID 'TAB' FIELD TABM-SYS.

Hi Panda,

Sorry, but system call isn't secure

but if you're looking for a secure solution

-> please insert a os-command with ta SM49 and use fm SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

You get errors with the exceptions of that fm

*"      NO_PERMISSION
*"      COMMAND_NOT_FOUND
*"      PARAMETERS_TOO_LONG
*"      SECURITY_RISK
*"      WRONG_CHECK_CALL_INTERFACE
*"      PROGRAM_START_ERROR
*"      PROGRAM_TERMINATION_ERROR
*"      X_ERROR
*"      PARAMETER_EXPECTED
*"      TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS
*"      ILLEGAL_COMMAND
*"      WRONG_ASYNCHRONOUS_PARAMETERS
*"      CANT_ENQ_TBTCO_ENTRY
*"      JOBCOUNT_GENERATION_ERROR
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Guys

I tried the following code for Windows NT to move a file from one directory to another but its not working.Can you please suggest what is going wrong

am using operating system command 'MOVE' while creating external command

ws_file_path = 'D:\usr\sap\UKR\DVEBMGS00\work\ENQLOG00.DAT'.

p_tg_dir = 'D:\usr\sap\UKR\DVEBMGS00\data'.

• Forming the command

concatenate ws_file_path p_tg_dir into ws_comm_winnt

separated by space.

• Call function to execute 'ZMV' command defined in SM69 CALL FUNCTION

call function 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'

exporting

commandname = 'ZMV'

additional_parameters = ws_comm_winnt

operatingsystem = sy-opsys

stdout = 'X'

stderr = 'X'

terminationwait = 'X'

importing

status = ws_zstat

exitcode = ws_zexit

tables

exec_protocol = t_move

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.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno

with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

endif.

We are using this code

check whether its useful for you.

move:'/cidata/sysid/conversions/'

into dir_from.

move: '/cidata/sysid/archive/'

into dir_to.

when 'COPY'.

operation = 'cp'.

when 'MOVE'.

operation = 'mv'.

when 'REMV'.

operation = 'rm'.

concatenate operation dir_from dir_to

into command separated by space.

call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field command.

Hi Raja

move:'/cidata/sysid/conversions/'

into dir_from.

move: '/cidata/sysid/archive/'

into dir_to.

In the above code where is your filename and I believe you are using Unix system am having the requirement in WindowsNT system

Thanks and Regards

[athavanraja]

i am sorry i should have had the file name. (copy paste error).

yes its for unix system.

for windows NT if you map it to PC drive then you could simply use cl_gui_frontend_service=>file_copy method.

Hi,

You can also try to use:

OPEN DATASET 'source.txt' 
FILTER 'ren source.txt dest.txt'. 
CLOSE DATASET 'source.txt'.

Check documentation for FILTER clause.
