About ABAP Report Template Generator
A classic ABAP report with a selection screen, ALV output, authority checks, and message handling has a lot of recurring structure that is easy to half-remember and get subtly wrong, like forgetting AUTHORITY-CHECK before a sensitive SELECT. This generator produces a complete report template — selection screen, ALV display, authority check, and message handling — configurable for classic or modern ABAP syntax.
How to use this tool
- Define your selection screen parameters and select-options.
- Choose whether to include an AUTHORITY-CHECK block and specify the authorization object.
- Pick classic ALV (REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY) or a modern CL_SALV_TABLE-based display.
- Copy the generated report template into SE38/ADT and plug in your selection logic.
All processing happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Your SAP code and business data remain private at all times.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a REPORT and a PROGRAM in ABAP?
REPORT is an ABAP program type (type 1) intended for executable programs with a selection screen and ALV output. PROGRAM is a more generic statement. In practice, executable ABAP programs start with REPORT or PROGRAM interchangeably, but REPORT is the convention for user-executable reports.
Should I use ALV GRID or ALV LIST for new reports?
Use ALV Grid (CL_GUI_ALV_GRID or SALV_TABLE) for new development. It supports column freezing, sort/filter, export to Excel, and in-place editing. Classic ALV LIST (REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY) is outdated but still used in legacy systems.
How do I add an authority check to my ABAP report?
Use AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TCODE' ID 'TCD' FIELD 'YT01'. If sy-subrc <> 0, call MESSAGE E...(). Add authority checks at report start and before any sensitive data access. The generated template includes a placeholder for authority checks.
