What is the difference between normal report and ALV report ?

Is it possible place a logo in classical report?

If it is Possible pls send me brief discussion.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

A classical report is a program that generates a single list, which must contain all of the required detail information.

1) This procedure may result in extensive lists from which the user has to pick the relevant data.

2) For background processing, this is the only possible method. After starting a background job, there is no way of influencing the program.

3) The desired selections must be made beforehand and the list must provide detailed information.

4) For dialog sessions, there are no such restrictions.

5) The user is present during the execution of the program and can control and manipulate the program flow directly.

6) To be able to use all advantages of the online environment, classical reporting was developed into interactive reporting.

ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.

Advantages.

Collapse multiple reports into one, drastically cutting down your report development time

Save many hours using built-in ALV sorting, subtotaling and filtering capabilities

Add conditional structures into your ALV report: No programming required!

Combine ALV with display variants to meet a wide range of reporting requirements more easily

Dynamically reorder column layouts and add/subtract fields

Enable users and analysts to save their own personalized variants

All the definitions of internal tables, structures and constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.

1. SIMPLE REPORT.

The important function modules are

a. Reuse_alv_list_display

b. Reuse_alv_fieldcatalog_merge

c. Reuse_alv_events_get

d. Reuse_alv_commentary_write

e. Reuse_alv_grid_display

A. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY : This is the function module which prints the data.

The important parameters are :

I. Export :

i. I_callback_program : report id

ii. I_callback_pf_status_set : routine where a user can set his own pf status or change the functionality of the existing pf status

iii. I_callback_user_command : routine where the function codes are handled

iv. I_structure name : name of the dictionary table

v. Is_layout : structure to set the layout of the report

vi. It_fieldcat : internal table with the list of all fields and their attributes which are to be printed (this table can be populated automatically by the function module REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE

vii. It_events : internal table with a list of all possible events of ALV and their corresponding form names.

II. Tables :

i. t_outtab : internal table with the data to be output

B. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE : This function module is used to populate a fieldcatalog which is essential to display the data in ALV. If the output data is from a single dictionary table and all the columns are selected, then we need not exclusively create the field catalog. Its enough to mention the table name as a parameter(I_structure name) in the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. But in other cases we need to create it.

The Important Parameters are :

I. Export :

i. I_program_name : report id

ii. I_internal_tabname : the internal output table

iii. I_inclname : include or the report name where all the dynamic forms are handled.

II Changing

ct_fieldcat : an internal table with the type SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV which is

declared in the type pool SLIS.

C. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET : Returns table of possible events for a list type

Parameters :

I. Import :

Et_Events : The event table is returned with all possible CALLBACK events

for the specified list type (column 'NAME'). For events to be processed by Callback, their 'FORM' field must be filled. If the field is initialized, the event is ignored. The entry can be read from the event table, the field 'FORM' filled and the entry modified using constants from the type pool SALV.

II. Export :

I_List_type :

0 = simple list REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY

1 = hierarchcal-sequential list REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY

2 = simple block list REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND

3 = hierarchical-sequential block list

REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND

D. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE : This is used in the Top-of-page event to print the headings and other comments for the list.

Parameters :

I. it_list_commentary : internal table with the headings of the type slis_t_listheader.

This internal table has three fields :

Typ : ‘H’ – header, ‘S’ – selection , ‘A’ - action

Key : only when typ is ‘S’.

Info : the text to be printed

E. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY : A new function in 4.6 version, to display the results in grid rather than as a preview.

Parameters : same as reuse_alv_list_display

This is an example for simple list.

2. BLOCK REPORT

This is used to have multiple lists continuously.

The important functions used in this report are:

A. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_INIT

B. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND

C. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND

D. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY

A. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_INIT

Parameters:

I. I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM

II. I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET

III. I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND

This function module is used to set the default gui status etc.

B. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND

Parameters :

Export :

I. is_layout : layout settings for block

II. it_fieldcat : field catalog

III. i_tabname : internal table name with output data

IV. it_events : internal table with all possible events

Tables :

i. t_outtab : internal table with output data.

This function module adds the data to the block.

Repeat this function for all the different blocks to be displayed one after the other.

C. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND

This function module is used for hierarchical sequential blocks.

D. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY

Parameters : All the parameters are optional.

This function module display the list with data appended by the above function.

Here the functions REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE, REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET, REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE can be used.

3. Hierarchical reports :

Hierarchical sequential list output.

The function module is

A. REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY

Parameters:

I. Export:

i. I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM

ii. I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET

iii. I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND

HI,

1) We can not Insert a Logo in the Normal report, it is possible only with ALV report

Look at the below link, it will explain you clearly with all types of reports

Hi

In normal report the output is displayed without formatting.If you need the output in particular hierarchical format then go for ALV. If large amounts of data are to be displayed clearly, they can be grouped into lists, which are structures set up like tables made up of columns and rows. Lists are often used to display data that is organized into hierarchies. In the SAP system, lists display the following information: ● Report analyses ● Search results ● Possible input values (in some cases) SAP List Viewer (ALV) In order to be able to use a list optimally within an application, you need a number of functions with which you can adapt the display of data to your needs. These functions are provided by the SAP List Viewer (ALV). With ALV, you can sort and filter data, make calculations and much more. SAP List Viewer for SAP GUI Use The SAP List Viewer (ALV) is a tool to display and prepare lists in the SAP system based on the User Interface Technology SAP GUI. The SAP List Viewer can be used in two ways within the SAP system: ● as a screen element in combination with other screen elements. If this is the case, the toolbar is positioned directly above the data or the header. ● as a display in full-screen mode.The SAP List Viewer is the only screen element and therefore fills the entire screen. The functions for operations on the displayed data can be found in the standard toolbar. Depending on use, in full-screen mode, the SAP List Viewer is displayed with headers. This can be found between the toolbar and the headers or data and contains further information on the displayed lists. The functions provided by the SAP List Viewer are identical in both versions. The following descriptions apply to both options: Only the way that you trigger the functions can differ. This is indicated where necessary. Not all lists in the SAP system use the complete range of functions provided by the SAP List Viewer. Some lists provide special functions that extend beyond the scope of the SAP List Viewer.

I think we cannot have logo in the classical reporting...
