HI
An ABAP report program, you can display the resulting
output list - also known as a report - on the screen or
send it to a printer. You can also save the output list and
display it later.
SAPscript is the word processing tool used within SAP/R3 to
manipulate and display text. It is used throughout the
system for on-line displays and print out processing. When
data is printed using SAPscript, the output is commonly
referred to as layouts or forms

Hello Rao,
Report is the executable program or rather call it as the output of the executable program which appears as a list. We do have formatting options for a list and can also print but the list is not so user-friendly.
Scripts are mainly used for mass printing where we can design the layout which can be client specific. Scripts use a report program also called the driver program or the print program when the desired list must appear on the script. Different fonts are made availabe in scripts which is not possible in reports.
Hope you find it useful
