Hi ,

In std script modification , we develop sub routine pool program and assign it print programs and form .

Here without modifing the print program we develop subroutine pool prg according to user requirements.

Print program call the form and pass the data to the form .

Report program is normal program...

Reward if useful .

Thanks

HI,

Print program is also a Report program, it is called as print program in case of SAP Script and Smartforms.

Since this report program is used to print the values in the SAP Script Etc.

hi gayathri,

Difference between report and Print program is that we write a report for analyzation mostly within the organization but whereas Print program we write for sapscripts and smartforms which are used for correspondense purposes like addressing someone it could be customer or a business partner for billing, invoices, purchase orders..etc

Even if the business process used for both is same, it differs in presentation.

****************************

report program is one which is used to display report over screen as output...this data can either be donwloaded to presentation or application server...even can be printed over a printer....

print program is a script or smart form which gets triggered when a documnet is either issued to a printer thru a transaction.
