Hi,

IN ALV you can position the column as you like by just drag and drop and you can sum all values using the summation button and you can sort the field as you like...

in Interactive Report you can move to several screens by clicking the particular field in the report and you can use symbols and icons

In ALV reports there various in-built features like sorting, selceting a row, column etc which are not available in simple reports.

Interactive reports means you can do some interaction at run time means report can respond to user input like double click on any line of report etc.

Hi,

Interactive reports are the normal reports in which we can have upto 20 lists.

classical report can have only one list.

alv report is the one which does not use write statements for the list display, instead uses function modules which looks very better than normal list.

Interactive and ALV are not two different reports types.

Interctive reports means user can Intercat with the report output.

examples:

a.Double clicking on the report output.

b.Clicking on the buttons

Interactive report can be a Classical report or ALV report

ALV is List presentation tool with generic functionality(Std Functions).

Technically If we pass Internal table to Function module or Methods it displays as Report

ALV interactive report gives many advantages than interactive report like sorting, summing and getting graphics.

An interactive report generally basic list displayed. User double clicks on any valid line or user selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar. Then the corresponding event is triggered.
