They CREATE/DELETE/ALTER the database tables(not to be confused with the contents of those tables).

It looks to me that you could use this to update a database table dynamically. Send it the table name and the SQL code. That's it.

Srinivas, the short text of the DB_INSERT_TABLE reads...

"Insert contents of SAP tables with dynamic names".

Are you sure that your statement is correct?

Actually I wrote this without looking into the system trying to recollect from my memory. But may be I am wrong.

Anyone care to test it on a "Z" table? I really don't see the point of these FMs, you could just do a dynamic INSERT statement using field symbols.

They are not remote enable, so you couldn't even call them from outside the system.

Hi Rich,

Can you please explain me how do you do the dynamic insert using the field-symbols?
