FREE MEMORY Vs DELETE MEMORY????

Former Member — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 18:44:39 GMT

Hi Experts,

I hv 3 statemets,

1) DELETE FROM MEMORY ID key

2) - FREE OBJECT obj

3) - FREE OBJECT.

Actually, I am using,

IMPORT flag FROM MEMORY ID 'ZP1'.

So,

1) Which one from 1, 2 or appropriate?

2) May I know the difference pls. I guess, 1 & 2 r almost similar in functionality!(sorry, if am wrong)

thanq.

You want number 1 if using the IMPORT/EXPORT statement.

Perhaps you want to use FREE MEMORY ID 'ZP1' instead.

DELETE FROM MEMORY ID key

This syntax does not exits.

FREE OBJECT <obj>.

This will release the storage space required for the object obj. The object can then no longer be processed.

2 and 3 referr to OLE programming, such as when manipulating excel spreadsheet.

Delete from memory:-

Release an area in the ABAP/4 memory .

Free Object :

Release the memory occupied by an external object This is more for OLE objects like Excel.

From the look of it you need to use Delete Memory.

Hope this helps.

I actually can not find the document for DELETE MEMORY. I think Ferry is right about using the FREE MEMORY and not DELETE MEMORY. Unless you are talking about the shared buffer, for this there is a DELETE statement.

<i>Delete a data cluster from the cross-transaction application buffer

- DELETE FROM SHARED BUFFER dbtab(ar) ...ID key.</i>
