Hi Deep,

<b>Reports.</b>

Report Programs are used to display large amounts of data

Used when data from a number of tables have to be selected and processed before presenting

Used when reports have to have a special format

Used when the report has to be downloaded from SAP to an Excel sheet to be distributed across.

Used when the report has to be mailed to a particular person.

SAPSCRIPTS

SAP script is the SAP System's own text-processing system

It is used to print preformatted text in preformatted forms

It looks and feels a lot like other leading text-processing systems

Script is a form which has a layout set as per the company standards and can be used for external use too.

Hi,

Reports show us output as a List Format or can be used to get output in other medium like printer,fax etc or can give us interactive output where user interaction is possible. Its printout is always in list format. Can be dynamic.

SAPscript gives us formatted Text output without any provision for user interaction. Gives the output in text format so that it can be printed or faxed etc. Always static, that is no change is possible in output structure after the output is done.

Regards,
