  A basic list is a type of report in the ABAP Runtime Environment of SAP. It is used to display data in a tabular format, with each row representing a single record. The columns of the table can be customized to show different fields from the underlying data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a basic list, you must first define the data source that will be used to populate the table. This can be done by selecting a database table or view, or by writing an ABAP program to generate the data. Once the data source is defined, you can customize the columns of the table to show the desired fields. You can also add additional features such as sorting and filtering.

For example, if you are creating a report for end users, you may want to include features such as sorting and filtering so that they can easily find the information they need. Additionally, you should consider how the data will be displayed; for example, if you are displaying numerical values, you may want to include formatting options such as currency symbols or decimal places.
