Delete Statement - Memory Space

[Former Member]

Hi All,

If we use 'delete' statement to delete all the rows of an internal table, will the storage space (Memory) allocated for that be deleted.. Similar to that of FREE statement.

Please help me to resolve this..

Thanks in advance,

No, only FREE statement can remove the memory allocation. Till then memory is always blocked.

REFRESH ITAB[] - Will refresh the content in internal table ie delete the entires in internal table

CLEAR ITAB - Will clear the header line content of internal table

FREE ITAB - Resets any data object f to the correct initial value for its type and FREE also releases any resources connected with the data object.
