% has no special meaning in ABAP. It's just that the variable is called "%data_selected", for example. This is a convention often used to denote system type variables.

Hi,

This kind of reports are generated by the System itself.

Thats y it contains % everywhere. I think this report is related with Select Query(SQ01).

% character can be used in naming convection, so it is used by some programmers to name elements variable etc

not much to get confused
