Question:
How should i delete the unwanted versions of a program in development server.
Please let me know if someone has an idea to do this?
Thanks .
Answer:
Are you using the Version database that SAP provides (as you should be), or is it home grown - something like a change in program name ??
If it's the first then you can't delete them. If it's the second, start doing it properly and use what SAP provide after renaming all custom tables and data elements so that they are not used anywhere and then delete them.

Answer:
Why would you want to? This gives you a very good audit trail of changes (and who changed them)
Maybe he want to remove the form
DOUBLE_ABAPERS_WAGE_PAYMENT
before the auditors get in?

I don't think you can delete them, can you?
ditto
Nobody sees them except for you and any subsequent editor of the ABAP... I say again, why would you want to do it? I can only think of under-hand reasons...
Like you want to prove it didn't take you 12 goes to get it right

Copy the code to another ABAP name, delete the original, recreate it by renaming the temporary ABAP to the original name. Never done this, but I do think it can work.

Doc, I'm going to wag a finger at you here..... in defence of guest.
In some cases the development system of a client just about allows you to get a program compilable. The test data in Dev systems almost without exceptions is absolute rubbish. It doesn't hang together, it's not representative of the real world, all in all a pile of tosh.
So, 12 goes to get something right, especially if complicated means that it went to QA 12 times because dev is a crock of sh*t.
So, I see nothing wrong with that, but... I still don't see the reason why the versions created with each transport need to be deleted.

Yep. It will work, but the versions will come back too!
