regarding delete statement.

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

could anybody help me in this.

There are 5 records in this internal table. (1,2,3,4,5)

loop at itab.

check itab-number = '3'.

delete table itab.

write: itab-number.

endloop.

Here the out put is: 3.

what 'DELETE' statement will do here.

Hi,

Note that itab is a table with Headerline. and itab means headerline and itab[] is the table.

In your case DELETE statements has removed that row or record from the table.

But it is still there in the Headerline <b>itab</b> so it gets displayed with WRITE.

But the table will not have that record.

Check by executing this code.

LOOP AT ITAB.

WRITE: itab-number.

ENDLOOP.

<b>You can use CLEAR ITAB. after DELETE statement to clear the headerline.</b>

This will serve your purpose . This will delete the third line of your internal table .

Earlier you were deleting the table and displaying the entries of Work area
