Did you mean DELETED

then

strating from 1500 to 1700 row all the records are deleted (including 1500 and 1700) from your internal table.

Hi,

if you only want to delete the last 500 records, try this

DELETE itab FROM 1500 TO 2000.

DELETE itab FROM idx1 TO idx2

of 2000 records, entries with index 1500 to 1700 will be deleted, rest of 2000 records is left.

But when you just do: WRITE:/1 itab, only ONE will be displayed???!!!!

You need a loop to write all entries from itab.

loop at itab.

write: / itab[].

endloop

Hi,

it will not display any record.

because u are simply writing write:/ itab.so it will write the current header line contents.

delete itab from n1 to n2. will update the work area.

Hi,

It will delete the records from the internal table which is having 1500 to 1700. If your internal table does not contain 1700 records then it ABAP runtime error will be triggered.

Thanks,
