The Structure of an ABAP Program
Saturday, June 24th, 2006
Question 1: What is the typical structure of an ABAP program?
I saw the answer for this question like that Header, Body, and Footer. Is it really like that? I am not sure 
There are basically two kind of ABAP programs that are Report Programs and Dialog (Module) Programs. Report Programs for, as you can guess, reports and they are naturally read-only program in general. When you write report programs you don’t have to worry about screens, SAP would create screens for you. But when you develop module programs you have to design screens with all details like text, input boxes, radio boxes, check boxes and everything. Even the flow of the program changes.So actually the structure of an ABAP program differs for each report and module programs. Sure you can combine report and module programs together in one program, since both are ABAP programs
