Activation always includes generation. Refer to the following link in the library as well -http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d1/801a6e454211d189710000e8322d00/frameset.htm

When you active the program is checked and generated, when you generate the program is only generated.

The system create a new version of the program while generating.

hi,

from sap help

activate

When you activate a program, the system generates an active version from the inactive version. The activation process checks for syntax errors in your program, then generates the active version. Finally, it generates a load version and deletes the corresponding entry from your list of inactive objects.

generate

When you generate a program, the system creates a new load version from the active version. Unlike activation, this operation only generates a new load version.
