Deletion of entries from a table whose name is controlled by Z program.

Hi all,
I have to delete all entries in a custom table whose "Name" has a certain pattern say ZDBTAB01, ZDBTAB02, etc.
I arrive at the table name through ABAP code. But the statement
"DELETE FROM tab_name" doesnot work where tab_name is a variable.
Can anyone suggest a function module to perform this action..??
Thanks.
Regards,
Senthil G.

data : v_tabname ..... value 'ZXXX'
delete from (v_tabname).
It should work. Are you getting any error message as such.

  • Delete a user from a table whose name is a foreign key in other tables

    Dear All;
    I am trying to figure out an easy way to do this. I just recently took someone application who utilized 500 tables. I am trying to delete a user from a table called member_table. However, I am having problems doing so because the user name is a foreign key in other tables which has a relationship with this member_table. I really can't naviagte through all 500 different tables and start deleting the user from each table . hence, I would like to figure out a way to delete the user from the member_table without getting the error message
    ORA - 02292 "Integrity Constraint (....) violated child record found

    Unless you want to find and re-create all of the FK's that point to that field so you can make them ON DELETE CASCADE (note it is the FK not the PK that has that attribute), you will need to either delete that member id from each of the child tables individually or update each one individually to either null or some valid value in member_table before you can delete the id from member_table.
    You can find all of the tables, and the corresponding column_name that have an FK relationship to memeber_table with the following:
    SELECT c.table_name, col.column_name
    FROM user_constraints c, user_cons_columns col
    WHERE c.constraint_name = col.constraint_name and
          c.r_constraint_name = (SELECT constraint_name
                                 FROM user_constraints
                                 WHERE table_name = 'MEMBER_TABLE' and
                                       constraint_type = 'P') and
         c.constraint_type = 'R';If there are a lot of these, you could use something similar to generate the set of delete/update statements that would be needed.

  • How to do a select from a table whose name is saved in a field?

    Hello,
    This is an abap report.
    I need to do a select from a table whose name is saved in a field of Z* table.
    Like this..
    SELECT * FROM znodos.
       SELECT * FROM znodos-tabla.   "znodos-tabla contain the Z* table name

    Is this possible??
    Thanks

    Hi Ilie Aleman 
    Give variable name in ().. Variable name refers to variable which contains table name
    SELECT * FROM (znodos-tabla).

  • How to delete the entries from NAST table

    Hi,
    Please help me out by providing any function module that delete's the entries from hte NAST table.
    Regards,
    Kiran.L

    REPORT ZSCD_TEST13.
    delete from nast where VSTAT = '1'.
    =====
    If you see the FM : NAST_DELETE_OBJECT, its only useful when NACHA = 7 (i.e. message transmission medium = Simple Mail)
    For others its not useful.
    We had similar issue few days back and after long RnD, we straightaway deleted the entries using the Zprogram.

    Hi
    Check Syntax for DELETE operator on pressing F1
    1. DELETE itab.
    2. DELETE TABLE itab WITH TABLE KEY k1 = v1 ... kn = vn.
    3. DELETE TABLE itab [FROM wa].

  • Removal of  Developer Key entry from DEVACCESS Table.

    Hi,
    On table DEVACCESS, in QTY/DEV/Prod there is one person with Developer Key listed that I would like to remove,  User is no more working and now we want to delete the entry from this table which has the User name followed by the Developer key assigned.
    Could any one guide me in deleting the Developer Key access from the DEVACCESS table.
    Satish.

    Another alternative is to use SE11 to create a maintenance view (ex: ZV_DEVACCESS).  Secure the maintenance view with a custom authorization group.  With the maintenance view you have the ability to use SM30 to maintain the DEVACCESS data.
    That keeps the DEVACCESS table from changing and thus no need to register the change with SAP.

  • Delete all entries from the following tables - Follow-up Activities (oracle)

    Hello,
    I performed a homogeneous system copy of our development BW system with the database (oracle 11.2.0.3) from the BW production system!
    I already start the oracle database and the SAP system in the target system/server (development BW system) and I´m doing some follow-up activities. One of this activities is (at the system copy guide 6.2.3.2 Activities at Database Level) is to delete all entries from the following tables:
    DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA, DBSTATIORA, DBSTATTORA
    I tried to delete them using SQL Plus:
    sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> connect /as sysdba
    SQL> delete from DBSTATTORA;
    delete from DBSTATTORA
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    ... and it show me that error message.
    This is strange because when I go to transaction SE14 and check the DBSTATTORA I see that table exist and contain a lot of entries!
    Why this is happened in SQL Plus!? I´m running the correct SQL statement for doing this type of task or not?
    How can I delete the entries of that tables? Can I do that using the transaction SE14?
    Can you help me please?
    Thank you,
    samid raif

    Hello
    sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> connect /as sysdba
    SQL> delete from DBSTATTORA;
    delete from DBSTATTORA
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    It doesn't surprise me as you are not mentioning the schema name here. Instead it should be
    delete from SAPSR3.DBSTATTORA;
    Assuming the schema owner is SAPSR3. if the owner is different then replace that with the correct one.

    Hi,
    If you just want to delete a single entry from database table then you have to it in debug mode .
    go to se11->Give table name->Press F7( ie: display table entries)-> Goto the table contents (CTRLSHIFTF10)->Select the entry you want to delete->Give /H in the command bar ->enter into debug mode-> Give code as DELE -> save it. and press enter. Your entry will be deleted from database.
    Hope this helps..

  • Delete an entry from table T527X.

    Hello Gurus,
    How can we delete an entry from table T527X from se11/se16? Or is there any other transaction by which we can delete this entry? I can not delete the org unit as this org unit is not having any name and the ID is: 00000000. I created this entry using SE11 -> utilities -> Create entry.
    Thanks,
    Chakri.

    When you say select the entry or you double clicking?
    You can try this.. simply select the check box against that entr in the displayed list and then use the menu option Table Entry--> Delete
    Other than, this I can't think of another option.. ofcourse you can always have  a simple custom program  with a couple of lines of code to delete a table entry.

    Hello Guys,
    It is not advisable to delete the entries from the internal table you are looping upon. See this thread: [Sy-tabix in loop : Doubt|Sy-tabix in loop : Doubt]
    And to answer the OP's question select data into some local internal table & based on the condition populate your final table. Creating a local table of the same type as the final table will not create too much performance overhead

  • How to perform a select op on a table whose name is contained by a variable

    I am using Oracle SQL*Plus client.
    declare
    tablename_var varchar(10); LOOK HERE
    date_var date;
    begin
    select sysdate
    into date_var
    from &tablename_var; LOOK HERE
    dbms_output.put_line('The system date is '||date_var);
    end;
    The above code prompts the user to enter a value for the variable tablename_var, once the user enters 'dual' on prompt... The system date is given as output.
    declare
    tablename_var varchar(10):='dual'; LOOK HERE
    date_var date;
    begin
    select sysdate
    into date_var
    from tablename_var; LOOK HERE
    dbms_output.put_line('The system date is '||date_var);
    end;
    This code fails and gives an error. I understand. Engine interprets it as... trying to perform a select operation on a variable, and says a table or a view is expected.
    Can someone please tell me what to do, to perform a select operation on a table whose name is contained by a variable, like above?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    You need Dynamic SQL if the table- or column names are variables.
    Getting the current date isn't a good example; you could get that without a query simply by saying
    date_var := SYSDATE;Also, SELECT ... INTO will raise an error if the query does not return exactly 1 row.
    In the example below, let's get the latest entry_date from a given table:
    For example:
    declare
         tablename_var     varchar(10);
         date_var      date;
         sql_txt           VARCHAR2 (1000);
    begin
         tablename_var := 'table_x;
         sql_txt := 'select  MAX (entrydate)'
              || '  from  ' || tablename_var;
         dbms_output.put_line (sql_txt || ' = sql_txt');    -- Not essential, but recommended
         EXECUTE IMMEDIATE  sql_txt  INTO date_var;
         dbms_output.put_line ('The latest entry_date is ' || date_var);
    end;Dynamic SQL involves creating a string that contains the SQL statement. Displaying the string is purely optional, of course, but it's a very good idea when writing and de-bugging code. Remember to comment-out or delete the display before moving the code into Production.
    For an exercise, make the column name a variable, instead of the hard-coded entry_date.
