rename/move/copy file possible ?

Posted on Oct 25, 2006 at 09:17 AM 208 Views

hi,

is there a possibility to rename, move and/or copy a file from one path to another on the sap-application-server with abap-coding ?

i get pdf-files in a specific folder. then i make some checks for archiving the pdf-file. if the check is not okay i want either to RENAME the file (like setting a flag)....or if not possible i want to move/copy the file in another folder.

i can't find any function modules for it 😔

we are using 4.6c

regards, Martin

    Use following procedure. You need not pursue UNIX command knowledge for this:

    Goto SM49.

    Define command, using name and parameters.

    Save.

    Call function SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE with this command.

    This way you can achieve required results.

    Let me know if you have any further queries.

    U can surely copy it by reading the file via Open command and writing it to a new file with a different name in the same folder or other. But not 100% sure of move/rename as you would need to delete the file from the server.

    Another way would be using FTP commands.

    1. FM: FTP_CONNECT to connect to the application server.

    2. FM: FTP_COMMAND to execute the command at FTP level, like rename, move etc...

    3. FM: FTP_DISCONNECT to close the connection.

    Kind Regards

      well, ftp would be possible, but it is the last thing i want to use.

      i don't understand that there is not a simple function module in sap with which i can RENAME the file....strange 😊

    Hi Matin,

    if you know Unix you can use:

    *

    DATA: CMD(40).

    DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

    LINE(200),

    END OF ITAB.

    Put the Unix-Command in CMD

    CALL 'SYSTEM'

    ID 'COMMAND' FIELD CMD

    ID 'TAB' FIELD ITAB-SYS.

    Regards, Dieter
