Truncate another users table

List,

I am running version 8.1.7 on Sun.

I am trying to allow a user (A) to truncate another users
(B) table. I have already given the DROP ANY TABLE right to
A, and made a public synonym for the table owned by B. 

I can't do the truncate if I just give the table name, but
if I put the owner first (truncate table A.<tablename>) it
works. What have I missed?

Because the truncate command that I ultimately need to run
is buried in the vendors code, I am not able to create and
execute the stored procedure that I have seen suggested
here on the list in the past. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Larry Hahn
