Hi sarath,

1. One practical and obvious difference is

a) reports are simple programs (developed in se38)

(screen painter is not required)

The program can run without a tcode.

b) Dialog programs require screen painter (for designing the screen)

They can run ONLY with some TCODE.

amit m.

Hi sarath kumar ,

Reports : As the name implies ... reports are nothing but the list / results of your query ...

if u want to see a set of order processsing and their in depth details you can do that using report .......

U can see the status of an application

Dialog programming:

This is nothing but interactive programs using screen sequences ..... say for example ... you can club set of screens / functions and create an entire application itself ......

and for the indepth details ofcourse you ve already got some links

Hope this helps .....

Cheers

Kripa Rangachari ....
