Program Lines - Place where you can write the code

Templates - If you want to display some data in a structured manner in the same line, then you go for a template.

Take a look at this link

Hi,

<b>Program lines</b> that depend on a layout condition (current page = 1) or on a layout-specific event (page break). Example: Changing a global variable that is dependent on the current page number.

<b>Template</b> Displays texts for table cells of a static table

You use program lines nodes to enter free ABAP coding. If you insert program lines at the appropriate position in the tree structure, you can use it, for example, to calculate subtotals and totals in tables.

On the General Attributes tab use the tables Input parameters and Output parameters to pass global fields. Within the ABAP coding you can access only those global fields that you enter in these tables.

The program lines node corresponds to the Initialization tab of the node Global Definitions.

Use node type Template to display a table whose layout and size (number of lines and columns) is determined before the runtime of the print program.

To create a template, define a table layout to determine the cell structure for each line. The cells are used to display the contents of the successor nodes of the template node. This allows you to position text and a graphic side by side.

Hi,

Program lines is just like our ABAP editor , where we can write code for selecting data etc...

One important use of program lines is...

In one program lines we can set flags when sy-subrc is succes for any event...

We can use the same flag condition in any other program lines after that...

This will be very helpful sometimes....

Templates are something like a fixed windows , where we can position the text elements appropriatly...

In a single template we can define define different columns with various dimensions..

Hope this will add a few more inf..

Thanks
