How to Delete the Content of a Table?

Hi,

Please, i need to modify the content of a table, but before i want to delete this content. See follow the code that is used actually:

DELETE (pr_name_table).
MODIFY (pr_name_table) FROM TABLE prt_table.
MESSAGE s000(zbrx) WITH text-i02 pr_name_table.

The ABAP Editor don't accept the expression "DELETE (pr_name_table).".

How to delete this content???

Best Regards,
