Another alternative is to create an External Operating System Command in SAP Transaction SM69 and use it in the program by calling the SAP standard FM ‘SXPGCOMMANDEXECUTE’. Demerit: ABAPers usually do not have authorization to this Transaction SM69 and they need to depend on Basis/Security to get a new command created.
- To perform tasks more efficiently, Basis administrator can execute operating system command directly from SAP GUI. Instead of logging into the operating system to run the OS command. The common TCODE to run the OS command: SA38 and SM69 Option 1.
- How to create external commands using SM49&SM69 in SAP Application which is built on UNIX/LINUX OS. If we are going to create any os level command from SM49 it won’t allow us to use the wildcard entries like ”. “, “?”. A functional module “SXPGCOMMANDLISTGET” is used in every ABAP program to execute the OS level commands.
