This is the home page for List Processing
Introduction
A list is the simplest way to display data by an ABAP program. The main abap statement is WRITE.
Lists may be passive or interactive.
If the program runs in background, the list is automatically converted into a spool.
List processing was moved in the section of Obsolete techniques in SAP Library - NetWeaver 7.0, and are said to be "no longer intended for direct use in production programs [...] We recommend that you use other suitable output media instead. For table list output, use the classes of SAP List Viewer (ALV), such as CL_SALV_TABLE". Moreover, "Dynamic Documents are a logical successor to traditional R/3 list output".
