DELETE dbtab - cond
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
... WHERE sql_cond.
Effect
The WHERE addition uses a logical expression sql_cond
to specify which rows are deleted from the database table. The same rules apply to the logical expression
sql_cond as to the WHERE
condition of the SELECT statement, with the exception that subqueries
cannot be evaluated in the database table to be changed. If there is no row in the database that fulfills
the WHERE condition, a row is not deleted and sy-subrc is set to 4. If a WHERE condition is not specified, all rows are deleted.
Example
All of an airline's flights that are scheduled for today and in which no seats are occupied are deleted
from database table SFLIGHT (also see the example for dtab-source).
PARAMETERS p_carrid TYPE sflight-carrid.
DELETE FROM sflight
WHERE carrid = p_carrid AND
fldate = sy-datum AND
seatsocc = 0.
