Cannot Use VERSION Addition

The VERSION addition in the Open-SQL statements DELETE
and MODIFY (and of course in the obsolete statements READ TABLE and LOOP AT ) is not allowed in ABAP Objects.

In ABAP Objects, the following statements cause an error message:

DELETE dbtab VERSION vers.
MODIFY dbtab VERSION vers.

Correct syntax:

vers = 'T' vers.

DELETE (vers) FROM dbtab.
MODIFY (vers) FROM dbtab.

Reason:

The VERSION addition only works with database tables whose name satisfies the naming convention for R/2-ATAB tables. Dynamically defining the database table with bracketed field names replaces the
VERSION addition.
