'DD_DATABASE_UTILITY'

Hi,
I want to use DD_DATABASE_UTILITY to delete the contents of a table but it seems to cause difficulties:
call function 'DD_DATABASE_UTILITY'
EXPORTING
    fct                     = 'MDF'
    obj_name                = 'ZDELLIST'
    obj_type                = 'TABL'
    exec_modus              = 'S'
IMPORTING
    subrc                   = sl_subrc
EXCEPTIONS
    unexpected_error        = 1
    unsupported_function    = 2
    unsupported_obj_type    = 3
    table_is_locked_by_tcnv = 4
    authority_check_failed = 5
    abort_function          = 6
    conversion_error        = 7
    others                  = 8
*Insert new values:
modify zdellist.
The <i>modify</i> causes a short dump:
<i>The data type "ZDELLIST" was reloaded from the database while the program was running. However, the system found a version of the type that was newer than the one required.</i>
Any thoughts? Am I allowed add entries to the table after deleting the entries?
Thanks.

Hi,
can you try this one ....
call function 'DD_DATABASE_UTILITY'
             exporting
                  fct                     = 'MDF'
                  obj_name                = 'TABLE_NAME'
                  obj_type                = 'TABL'
                  exec_modus              = 'S'
             importing
                  subrc                   = sl_subrc
             exceptions
                  unexpected_error        = 1
                  unsupported_function    = 2
                  unsupported_obj_type    = 3
                  table_is_locked_by_tcnv = 4
                  authority_check_failed = 5
                  abort_function          = 6
                  conversion_error        = 7
                  others                  = 8.
        if sl_subrc = 0 and sy-subrc = 0.
          write:/ '&1', '- Table Deleted OK'.
          commit work and wait.
        else.
          sl_status = 1.                          "Deletion Failed
          write:/ '&1', '- Table Deletion FAILED'.
        endif.

Use of DD_DATABASE_UTILITY in loop

Hi,
I have a scenario where a certain buffer z table needs to be cleared (all entries should be deleted). A RFC FM calls (call from CRM) several FMs one after another on BI. At the end of every called FM on BI this z table is being cleared by 'DD_DATABASE_UTILITY'. However on the first FM run on BI the buffer is locked & 2nd FM run gives a dump : "A newer version of data type "ZDE_MSA_BUFFER" was found than one required ". Now i use delete from z-table and it seems to work.
Is there a better way to handle this ? I have tried using lock objects-unlock & etc...but in vain.
Please let me know.
Best Regards
Neeraj

Deleting data from your own Z-table (beware for foreign keys if available, direct relations with other transparant tables) using the DELETE statement is fine.

Is there a way to speed up data deletion ?

i am purging data from MEREP_10700 and MEREP_108 using MEREP_RDB_T01_RESET tool in the middleware
Note that this is running **very** slowly at the moment (~100,000 records per hour, will take days to complete). Is there a way to speed it up?
Thanks & Regards

There is no other easy way to achieve this (unless you write your own program to do so). But if you are looking for cleaning the entire table, you can use the FM "DD_DATABASE_UTILITY" to delete the entire table..

Fast deletion of SAP table content

If a table has millions of records, full deletion becomes time consuming. Try this tip when you need to delete data quickly -- it works in seconds.
Editor's note: This tip works on an SAP 4.6C, WAS620 and WAS640 system (i.e., all currently suppported SAP platforms). Note that it is a tricky function that should only be used by programmers who know what they are doing.

Use function from SE14
        call function 'DD_DATABASE_UTILITY'
             exporting
                  fct                     = 'MDF'
                  obj_name                = 'TABLE_NAME'
                  obj_type                = 'TABL'
                  exec_modus              = 'S'
