Summary
SAPScript is used to print forms. It looks
better than conventional reports and can
have graphic elements as required.
SAPScript is a tool for creating layout sets
using transaction SE71 in the SAP R/3 system.
The output program (written in ABAP )
extracts data to be placed in forms while the
layout set formats the extracted data to be
placed in the form.
SAPScripts can be referred to as the
combination of the output program and the
layout set.
