Here's how to get the output of a standard report into an internal table without Import/Export. I wrote the code in R/3 4.5, but I am pretty sure it will work back in 4.0 and up to 4.6. 
DATA: LISTOBJECT LIKE ABAPLIST OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: ASCII_TEMP  LIKE LISTZEILE OCCURS 1 WITH HEADER LINE.
SUBMIT <prog> EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
  TABLES
    LISTOBJECT = LISTOBJECT
  EXCEPTIONS
    NOT_FOUND  = 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
  TABLES
    LISTASCI           = ASCII_TEMP
    LISTOBJECT         = LISTOBJECT
  EXCEPTIONS
    EMPTY_LIST         = 1
    LIST_INDEX_INVALID = 2.
