<b>TYPE</b> - It will refer to DDIC Objects.

<b>LIKE</b> - It will refer to Local Data declaration.

<b>Simple Report</b> - YOu need to code to get all features like Sorting,Filtering, SUM, download etc.

<b>ALV</b>- It will provide all the features like Sorting,Filtering, SUM, download etc without any code

Note: Reward all useful answers.

Hi,

like is used when you want to refer table fields

data v_matnr like mara-matnr

Type is used to define variable with system defined data types

data v_matnr(10) type c.

in normal report all the horizontal ,vertical ,totals shoulld be explicitly

defines whereas in alv function modules can be used for

above purpose

TYPE ALWAYS REFER TO THE VARIABLE TYPES LIKE 'I', 'C', 'N' ETC.

LIKE REFER TO THE DECLARED VARIABLES.

EX:

DATA: VAR1 TYPE I VALUE 200.

DATA: VAR2 LIKE VAR1.

HERE VAR1 IS THE TYPA OF INTEGER WITH DEFAULT VALUE 200.

IN THE SECOND STATEMENT VAR2 IS DECLARED USING VAR1.

NOW VAR2 IS ALSO TYPE INTEGER BUT NO VALUE.

SIMPLE REPORT IS NOTHING BUT GETTING THE DATA FROM THE DATABASE AND DISPLAY IT IN FORMATED/UNFORMATED WAY.

REDIRECTING THE SAP DATA INTO GRID CONTROLS IS 'ALV REPORTS'.

THESE ARE USER FRIENDLY WITH RICH LOOK.

THANX.
