Many reports are simply built on a SQL query, that mostly can be restricted via select options. A report puts the result usually into an ABAP list, ALV list or ALV grid.

The OpenSQL Editor for SAP has finally arrived

You also think that an SQL Editor is missing from the SAP environment? Not any more! Hovitaga developed an SAP add-on that greatly extends the ABAP Workbench.
