SAP ABAP Classical Reports
SAP ABAP Classical Reports are the most basic ABAP
reports that contain both selection screen and an output

and not executed on a line-by-line basis. Classical
reports are non-interactive reports. Basically, they
consist of one program that creates a single list.
The following SAP training tutorials guides various
events in classical reports, provide the syntax for each
and then present a simple programming example of a
Classical Report.

9. End-of-Selection
This event signals that event of what has been initiated by the start-of-selection event.
10. Top-of-Page

The below simple programming example shows how an typical Classical Report is written:

REPORT ZSIMPLE_DBPRG.
TABLES MARA.
DATA : WA_MARA LIKE MARA.
START-OF-SELECTION.
**FIRST MARA IS DATABASE TABLE SECOND MARA IS DEFAULT STRUCTURE
*SELECT SINGLE * FROM MARA INTO MARA.
