DELETE REPORT

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

This statement is for internal use only. It must not be used in application programs.

Syntax


DELETE REPORT prog.

Addition

... STATE state

Effect

Deletes the source code, attributes, text elements, and generated version of the program, whose names are in the data object prog. An entry for prog in the database table TADIR remains unchanged.

System Fields

sy-subrc Meaning
0 The program was deleted.
4 The program does not exist.


Note

This statement does not delete the package assignment, the documentation, or the variants of the program in prog on the database. For this reason, the function module RS_DELETE_PROGRAM should be used to delete a program in full.

Addition

... STATE state

Effect

This addition determines whether the statement uses the active version or an inactive version of the repository object. state can have the values "A" (for active) and "I" (for inactive), which is checked statically if specified as a literal.

  • If the addition state is not specified, the statement accesses either
  • the active version of the repository object or
  • the inactive version of the repository object in the worklist of the current user. If there are no inactive versions in the worklist of the current user, the statement accesses the active version of the repository object.
Before the statement can evaluate the worklist of the current user, it must be prepared accordingly. This can be done using, for example, the function module RS_WORKING_AREA_PREPARE. If the worklist is not prepared, the statement accesses the active version of the repository object.
  • If the addition state is specified, the statement accesses
  • the active version of the repository object if "A" is specified,
  • the inactive version of the repository object if "I" is specified. The user to which the inactive version is assigned is not important here or whether the version is part of a worklist. If there are no inactive versions, the object is not accessed and sy-subrc is set to 4.

Exceptions

Non-Handleable Exceptions

  • Cause: state has a value other than "A" or "I".
    Runtime error: INSERT_REPORT_ILLEGAL_STATE
