Hi,

Though the function of both seems to be the same, there is difference in their nature and use. In INITIALIZATION.

Refer to the below threads

Hi,

Initialization - This is the first event to be fired

default - you declare it in the data statement or in the selection screen

Hi...

There is a difference between the DEFAULT (Used in PARAMETERS and

SELECT-OPTIONS) and INITIALIZATION event which is triggered before loading the selection screen.

For Eg We want to Declare a PARAMETER for a Date input and provide the DEFAULT VALUE as Yesterday.

EG:

PARAMETERS : P_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM DEFAULT SY-DATUM - 1.

**This is not allowed bcoz DEFAULT cannot expressions.

We can acheive this only using INITIALIZATION event

EG:

PARAMETERS : P_DATE TYPE SY-DATUM.

INITIALIZATION.

P_DATE = SY-DATUM - 1.

hi,

initialization is the second event in report execution by sap. 1st event is LOAD-OF-PROGRAM which is default event.

Initialization event is useful for assigning default values to select options

Default keyword is used for assigning default values to varaiables, parameters.

if helpful reward some points.
