    Functionality: 
    KAL3 allows users to delete data from the database after it has been archived. This ensures that the archived data is not accessible to users and reduces the size of the database, improving performance. The code also allows users to delete data from specific tables or all tables in a particular application.

    1. Enter transaction code KAL3 in the command field. 
    2. Select the application for which you want to delete archived data.
