What is an ABAP Query? How is it different from ABAP reports?

Answer Posted / nandu

ABAP Query allows you to define reports without having to program yourself.

ABAP Query provides you with three different report types:

Basic lists
Basic lists allow you to output data sorted by various criteria and to calculate totals.

Statistics, and
Ranked lists
You can also define a combination of these.

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. You then assign a particular sequence by numbering the fields.

The system generates each query in the form of an ABAP program.

The following sections give you an overview of the principal ABAP Query components, the necessary authorizations and the different user groups.
