Hello World – ABAP REPORT

In every programming language, an explanation is given to the “Hello World” program. ABAP is no different. Here in this post, in addition to ‘Hello World’ program explanation, we will see where the ‘Hello World’ program is stored and executed.

Which development object is used to create the ‘Hello World’ Report

Program development object is available in the Repository Browser. The Repository Browser section is reached through the SE80 transaction. Fig1 explains the navigation in SE80 transaction.

The program can be saved either locally or can be assigned to a existing package.

The package assignment will always be asked if a development object is created.

Note: Program name must always start with “Z” if it is saved locally.

In the ABAP report, the first line by default is ‘REPORT program_name’. The ‘Hello World’ string is pointed out with the write command.
