Hi,

There is no basic difference like that between them

User also bothered about the Output.

But ALV's are latest concept and user friendly, we develop in ALVs now-a-days.

both are same except the way the output is shown. it depends on how the user needs the report.

if u have too many fields to be displayed on the screen then normal report will show only 255 chars and the next chars will be shown in the next line.

to avoid such instances we go for alv report wherein we can display too many fields in a single row.

hi both r in same purpose

intractive report means

An output list which displays just the basic details & allow user to interact, so that a new list is populated based on user-selection. With interactive list, the user can actively control data retrieval and display during the session.

but only the differance is

ALV report are used for sorting and down load the data with out hard coding

There is no big difference between two.

These are two ways of displaying data.ALV is the latest one.It helps to display it using OO concepts.

So its alwats prefered to use ALV.

hi

both are used for same purpose

interactive report means an output list which displays basic details & allow user to interact, so that a new list is populated based on user-selection. With interactive list, the user can actively control data retrieval and display during the session.

I suggest to use ALV.by using ALV we can display in Grid as well as list format.

Output format will be good . Sorting,Filtering facilities are provided by itself.We can have column headings also.
