Question:
Hii there,
Can somebody give me the difference beteween repot transaction and parameter transaction.
Thanks
Vista.
Answer:
Hi Vista,
A report transaction starts a report when you run it (in the
transaction code editor, you can then specify a report name which
could be run from SA38)
A parameter transaction calls another existing transaction code, but
provides with default values for certain fields on the first
screen of that called transaction. It is also possible to skip the first
screen for the user.
Have a look at e.g., OB08 in SE93; you'll see that this transaction calls
SM30 or SM31 with a default value for the table name.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
Hello Wouter,
So a parameter transaction is similiar to custom transaction used to allow user acces to a specific table skipping the initial screen in the process.
Ex Custom transaction code SE16_EBAN, 'ch when ran would call SE16 and then to the table EBAN.
Correct me if am wrong.
Appreciate your answer.

Answer:
Hi Vista,
parameter transaction codes are used for that purpose, however,
you can also use them to call another transaction code and simply
default some values. There is a number of financial posting transactions
that call FB01 and only default a posting key or document type.
The same principle is used - an existing transaction code is called and
some values are defaulted on the first screen.

Wouter
