1) can we store reports in an internal table

Sure -:)

DATA: BEGIN OF SOURCE_TABLE OCCURS 0,
      LINEA(150) TYPE C.
DATA: END OF SOURCE_TABLE.


READ REPORT T_TRDIR-NAME INTO SOURCE_TABLE.

2) what is the need of conversion routine and conversion exit in SAP

For example....You want any value enter to be UPPER CASE...or LOWER CASE

3) what is the use of Control_form in SAP scripts.

Not sure.....Never used it -;)

Greetings,

Hi Pavan,

2) SAP sometimes stores the data in a format that is different from what is being displayed. Hence we need conversion routines to convert internal format to external and vice versa.

2) control_form:

"SAPscript control commands can be carried out with CONTROL_FORM. The command should be specified without the paragraph format '/:' in the parameter COMMAND." an excerpt from the fm documentation.

The various commands available are.
