Specifying working directory while executing FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE in SAP system
I thought it can be done using a script in SM69 T-code defined as a call to sh with parameters of -c 'cd <dir> && /path/to/command.
However it doesn’t accept wildcards and && is converted to & and script is not working. As per SAP Note 401095 - Wildcards in external commands
Symptom:
Customers would like to use wildcards when defining external commands
Other Terms:
SM49, SM69, wildcard
Reason and Prerequisites:
Wildcards are not supported in external commands, amongst other things for security reasons.
For example:
An ls with a wildcard was defined as a command: "ls $1".
During execution, the parameter "; rm -R /*" is entered. At operating system level, the command string "ls; rm -R /*" would be transferred for execution.
Solution:
Call using an external shellscript where the wildcards are predefined.
