== Why is this an issue?

``++UPDATE dbtab SET ...++`` without a ``++WHERE++`` condition changes all the entries of the table. Check whether dataset to be changed can be limited by a suitable ``++WHERE++`` condition.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,abap]
----
UPDATE COUNTRIES SET NAME=country_name.

=== Compliant solution

[source,abap]

UPDATE COUNTRIES SET NAME=country_name WHERE CODE=country_code.
