Hi all.

Does anyone know a way to activate a batch file threw abap?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Rebeka,

Have a look at function module GUI_EXECUTE or WS_EXECUTE. Another way to do this if the batch file is on the server is to use transactions SM69 and SM49 and then function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.

Hi.

First of all, thanks..

Second, that's exactly the problem:

I'm activating FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE with a command that cannot work on background.

For that reason we had created a batch file ...

FM gui_execute does not exist and WS_EXECUTE cannot work with batch mode......

My only possible way is to find a fm that can activate a batch file and works with background mode.

I'll apriciate it if you could help me find one.

Hi Rebeka,

Try using fm rfc_remote_exec.This works in background.

HI Rebeka,

You won't find it because the fm resides on the gui. So just refer to oss note 77075 on service.sap.com on how to use it.

Preconditions / Restrictions, for example:

- Available from R/3 Release 2.1.

- You can execute extensions .com/.exe/.bat.

- Install the RFC server program RFCEXEC.EXE with the Desktop Development Kit.

- The destination (in the example, LOCAL_EXEC) was created with transaction SM59

Example 1: call the program TEST1.EXE. report ztest1.

data: Path1(256) type c value 'C:\PROGRAM FILES\TEST1.EXE' .

call function 'RFC_REMOTE_EXEC'

destination

'LOCAL_EXEC'

exporting

COMMAND = Path1 .

Most probably you would have the rfcsdk installed on your desktop
