Hi Sami,

You can use

DELETE  FROM sflight.

or you can specify the where condition.

Hope your query is resolved.

Have a best day ahead.

Hi Sami,

I think you should not remove the habit of reading the SAP help provided just because you get answers in SDN...for finding formulas you can always refer help, because it might give you a perfect syntax based on the requirement as in SDN you will ask for some requirement and if its not clear you may end up getting an incorrect syntax...

just write the keyword delete in the ABAP editor and then press F1, you can get all the information..

Sami,

before even considering of deleting any records from a database table, you might wanna think about the following. If there any other tables, referencing the table you are trying to delete the records from, this will have a major impact on the integrity of your database.

As a rule of thumb: Never ever delete any records from database by using the DELETE statement, unless you are absolutely sure this has no further impact. In most cases, this will only be when you are doing this on a custom table (a non-standard SAP table).

So in case of standard table, try to find the standard delivered function modules for this.

Just a word of advice.

Hi.

Just write the following

DELETE FROM (NAME OF THE TABLE).

DELETE FROM MARA. (Where mara is the name of the d/b table)

You can even add the where condition based on your requirent for example you won to delete specific records

DELETE FROM MARA WHERE MATNR = -
