The advantage with ABAP QUERY is logic required for classic & interactive reports system design automatically 80%.

For ABAP QUERY handle these

SQ01 ; QUERY

SQ02 : INFOSET OR FUNCTIONAL AREA

SQ03: USER GROUP.

[Edit section] Report Writer

Key Concept :

Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.

Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.

Instead of using ABAP code to write a report in FI and CO, many users build a Report Painter/ Report Writer library using transaction MC27.

However, this workaround has some drawbacks. Little known transaction GRCT solves these problems in most cases, and eliminates the need to use transaction MC27.

[Edit section] ABAP Report Types

ABAP report types are those ones available in some report's attributes screen, i.e. :

Executable program

Function group (containing function modules)

Include

Interface pool

Class pool

Module pool

Subroutine pool

Also ALV means ABAP List Viewer. Most convenient way to use it is through reuse library (cf. transaction se83) available from release 4.6 of SAP R/3.

ALV is available in two modes: list and grid. List mode is good old list processing with standard functionnalities, and grid mode is using a new OCX object displaying grids.

Hi

SAP query is basically meant for the Functional consultants

as there is no need of any programming is required for developing it

Nothing wrong if a technical consultant also knows about it like

It is a tool like LSMW and eCATT

but query is user specific and client specific and has got some limitations

Step-by-step guide for creating ABAP query

http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ab4query.pdf

ABAP query is mostly used by functional consultants.

SAP Query

Purpose

The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.

Features

SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.

All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.

To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.

ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.

To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly

use either SQ02 ans SQ01

or SQVI tr code
