== Why is this an issue?

``++DELETE FROM dbtab++`` without a ``++WHERE++`` condition deletes all the entries of the table. Check whether dataset to be deleted can be limited by a suitable WHERE condition.

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,abap]
----
DELETE FROM COUNTRIES.
----

=== Compliant solution

[source,abap]
----
DELETE FROM COUNTRIES WHERE CODE = country_code.
