Hi

Classical and Interactive are the two types of reports we can develop in ABAP

we can develop them in different ways

by using SQL querries like SELECT,MODIFY etc

using LOGICAL DATABASES

Using Report Painter/Writer

Using ABAP query etc

We generally use the reports at the top management level to overview the orgn/dept growth/profits/sales at different levels/different countrywise/different region wise etc

Here is your answer

There are 2 type of reports. They are:

1. Interactive report

2. Classic reports

In classic reports,we can see the output in single list where as in interactive reports we can see the output in multiple list.

In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:

· Classical

· Interactive

· Logical Database

· ABAP query

· ALV Reports (ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer)

· Report Writer/Report Painter

· Views (There are different types of views also)

Classical Reports

These are the most simple reports. Programmers learn this one first. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.

· Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT.

Events In Classical Reports.

· INTIALIZATION: This event triggers before selection screen display.

· AT-SELECTION-SCREEN: This event triggers after proccesing user input still selection screen is in active mode.

· START OF SELECTION: Start of selection screen triggers after proceesing selection screen.

· END-OF-SELECTION : It is for Logical Database Reporting.

Interactive Reports

As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.

And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.

We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).

Events associated with Interactive Reports are:

1. AT LINE-SELECTION

2. AT USER-COMMAND

3. AT PF

Hi

There are mainy 3 types of reports (Classical,Interactive and ALV).In classical only one list can be dispalyed.In case of interactive if we can have secondary list also.In case ALV reports we can use certain function modules like REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY for displaying the report. ALV report will be far better in case performance issue.

Reward if useful.
