Hello Friends,

Can anybody explain me what is the use of the function “SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" in the ABAP programs.

I know this is related to external commands.

Regards,

One way that we use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE is to call UNIX Scripts. Here is an example scenario.

We retrieve files from outside service providers. The files are normally encrypted. Our programs first call a UNIX FTP Script, and then call a second UNIX Decryption scrity.

To use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE you first have to create a logical command in SM69. Here you create a command name and in our case we link it to a UNIX Script.

Then you use your logical command to call the function module.

Hope this information Helps.

Best Regards,

Chris H.
