ABAP Classical Report with Programming Example

A Report is a presentation of data in an organized structure. Many database management systems include a report writer that enables you to design and generate reports. SAP applications support report
creation.

SAP ABAP Classical Reports are the most basic ABAP reports that contain both selection screen and an output screen. Classical reports are executed based on events, and not executed on a line-by-line basic. In simple language “It’s nothing but to display the entire information in a single list”.
