Hi,

The task is as follows. I need to FTP a file to AS/400 server (remote) and execute a program (on AS/400) from SAP program (dialog program).

Can you please let me know if there are any functions available in SAP for ftping a file to AS/400 and executing the program on AS/400. Can you please give some suggestions on implementing this task. Can you please let me know the command(s) for executing the program on AS/400.

Thanks in advance. I appreciate your help.

Hi,

there is a good redbook from IBM at

<b>http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg244672.pdf</b>that describes in <b>chapter 12.5</b> how to execute a OS/400 command from ABAP. You could use this to call to a CL-program that execute the FTP-commands.

An example "Batch FTP - Examples" exists in the IBM support-database:

<b>http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas12377b510c791422b862565c2007ce312&rs=110</b>

Good luck,

Stefan

Hi Mr. Stefan,

Thank you very much for letting me know a solution for the problem.

I am not good in developing a CL-program and hence I could not try this solution.

I appreciate your help. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

With Best Regards,

Vidya

Part 1.

FTP part ,Pls look into this fun modules .

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT' followed by

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'.

part 2.

running AS/400 program

make a command string ( AS/400 command -in RPG/CL )

by concatinating .something like this .

concatenate 'call ' AS400OBJLIB into CmdStr separated by space.

concatenate CmdStr '/sap0yy0 parm('''

DIV ''' '''

AS400DTALIB ''' '''

AS400OBJLIB ''' '''

FileParm ')'

into CmdStr.

  • CmdStr is the command string to run in AS/400 .

  • AS400OBJLIB - object lib

  • sap0yy0 - AS/400 program

  • others params to te as/400 program.

and run it through system calls .

CALL cfunc or RFC

or /search for fun modules for the above purpose

Hope u will find out after a little research .

Cheers.
