hi,

Here's a hello world program.

Call Transaction 'SE38'.

Create a new program.

To proceed in an SAP 3.x system you must be registered as a Developer. You get your Developer Key from your Sys. admin in a couple of minutes/hours/days after you applied for it. It must be entered once when you create your first program.

Program attributes:

Type: 1

Application: S

Choose a meaningful title

(Save)

Choose Development Class &TMP or press Button 'Local object'

Now you can edit the source code.

Position the cursor in a line number cell. Press F1 for the help of editor line commands.

enter i3 which inserts three new rows into your program.

report zhello.

write: / 'hello world'.

(Save, Generate, Execute)

Hope this is helpful, Do reward.

hii amar,

Report programming is a simple abap program which deals with presentation of the output to the client.

Report is generally designed when we want to have the output on the screen in a particular manner..

Report has many things attached to it like alv etc.

But basically reports are managed by events. The order of the events are as follows.

Initialization

At selection screen

Start of selection

End of selection

Top of page..

We write the code in these events and this will be executed sequentially. If u want any detailed thing in report. Do revert back.

write: / 'HELLO WORLD!'.

SAVE (CTRL+S)

CHECK(CTRL+F2)

AVTIVATE(CTRL+F3)

COMPILE(F8).

ABOVE FOUR STEPS R SAME FOR ALL REPORT PROGRAMS.
