ABAP query vs ABAP report

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding ABAP query and report.
what is the difference between ABAP query and ABAP report ?
will the query be more efficient than abap report ?
Is there a standard SAP report that could replace a query?
Thanks in advance,
Manoj

Hi,
A report is a piece of logic that you write in (this case) in a programming language (ABAP). It uses the syntax of the normal commands of the PL.
ABAP Query is a higher level tool, that reduces or eliminates the need to "program" in the PL, and rather uses more intuitive, graphic tools, to basically get the same results.
Generally speaking, if the reporting needs are simple and standard, it is easy and feasible to use the query. The more complex the logic gets, the more you'll probably need to use programming.

Mario

Abap Query - Creation of Report

Hi guys,
I do have a question to ABAP Query:
I want to create a report that shows me all current active employees and all of their corresponding positions from Infotype 1.
I have got it to the part where the report gives me all employees (active and withdrawn).
The question is:
How can I show only active employees as of todays date?
Thanks,
Sascha

Thanks for your reply,
but if I enter date 31.12.9999 and status of active. it gives me for some the latest record and for some two - though I could not find out why?!
I should say, I am using logical database PNP for this query
null

ABAP Query and BW Report

Need an understanding of how do we judge or make out that for a particular report we can go for ABAP query and for one we can go for BW report.??? Please provide clear answer with example..
Thanks

Hi,
Your question is very broad based.
ABAP Query is a simple tool in the hands of the Functional consultants to extract information from the tables directly ( u can use complex logic as well ), Example - List all sales orders within a particular period.
But, BW reports are used not for Transactional analysis but for Strategic reporting. Depends upon the nature of data , users of data, availability of data, you should decide. It needs investment in BW module. Report the total sales by region, product etc with trends and graphs.
Thanks

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

Bex Query in ABAP report

Can i call a BEx query in ABAP report and display in ALV grid. if so please give me the syntax.
Thanks
Akila.R

Look at the FM "RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ".
With this you can read data into a internal table of your program.
With this FM, you can do a selective read and select only the key figures and characteristics that you wish to read in your ABAP.
I am not ure, if you can call a BEx report in your ABAP. But with what I mentioned here, you can acheive what you want.

Hi Gordon,
What i need to display is the remainder of the transaction that was received... if it is zero (0), i don't want to display it.
i.e.
transact # 100 inqty = 5
transact # 200 outqty =1
I'd like to display
transact # 100     qty on hand = 4
right know the transaction # that i am displaying is transact # 200.
And also, it needs to be warehouse oriented. because i can have multiple warehose transactions.... and i am getting that wrong too.

Manuel Roman
