What are events in ABAP reporting (e.g., START-OF-SELECTION)?
Classical ABAP report programs execute as a sequence of predefined event blocks — special statements marking points in the program's lifecycle where the ABAP runtime automatically calls the code that follows, rather than the program running top-to-bottom as one continuous block.
REPORT z_demo. INITIALIZATION. " runs once, before the selection screen is displayed START-OF-SELECTION. " runs after the user submits the selection screen - main processing goes here END-OF-SELECTION. " runs after START-OF-SELECTION completes - often used for final output
The most commonly used event is START-OF-SELECTION, which is where the bulk of a report's
actual data-processing logic typically lives; other events like INITIALIZATION and
AT SELECTION-SCREEN let you hook into specific moments in the selection screen's own lifecycle,
such as setting default values or validating user input before processing begins.
What triggers the code inside an event block like START-OF-SELECTION?
Where does the main data-processing logic of a classical report typically live?
