i am sorry, i do not konw how to anwser your question!!!!

there's a script from the note:

Logs are given expiry dates. The logs must remain on the database until these dates expire. After the expiry date has passed, the data is deleted from the database. There are often a large number of application logs in the database because no expiry dates are assigned to the logs. If no specific expiry date has been assigned to an application log, the system assigns a very late expiry date.

and in BALHDR i saw some records about the transaction-mm02. and the expiry date is 9999-12-31.

i want to set the expiry date!

thanks!

Take a look to the note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/195157 - Application log: Deletion of logs.
