ABAP_DESCRIPTION A sorted table itab> is filled with five lines. Then an attempt is made to delete the lines with the indexes 2, 3, and 4 using a chained statement. However, after the deletion of each individual line, the index of each subsequent line is lowered by 1. As a result, the second delete operation deletes the line that had the index 4 first. The third deletion fails because the table now has only 4 lines. To actually delete the lines 2 to 4, the addition FROM TO>> of the statement DELETE > is used.
