Delete rows of IT using field symbol

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a field symbol <fs_table> that points to a dynamically created internal table. And I have a field symbol <fs_wa> that points to each row in that table.

How do I delete a row from <fs_table> using <fs_wa>.

In short, I want to write something like

DELETE <fs_table> FROM <fs_wa>

But the above statement doesnot work.

Please suggest me a way of doing the same.

Any suggestions would be of great help.

Hi,

You can either use a LOOP AT... ENDLOOP and the DELETE within the LOOP, or use DELETE .... INDEX.

Hi John,

Thanks for replying !!!

I dont have the index. So I can loop through the table and delete. But if the no. of entries are too many then that would take a toll on the performance.

Can you suggest any alternative ... its really very urgent

Also, what would be the syntax of deleteing it within the loop ?

A code extract would be very helpful

Hi Ashish,

Don't worry about the performance as it is an internal table. I'm not able to test in on a system, but the code should be something like:

LOOP AT <table> INTO <wa>.

IF <condition>

delete <table> INDEX syst-tabix.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

John.
