Difference between Drilldown report and Interactive report

There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
You can produce both simple, data-directed lists (basic reports) and complex, formatted lists in drilldown reporting (form reports).
Drilldown report provides you with comfortable functions for navigating through your data. For example, you can jump to the next level of detail or the next report object on the same level, hide individual levels and switch between the detail and drilldown lists. It also provides a number of additional functions which let you process lists interactively (sorting, conditions, ranking lists, and so on). SAP Graphics, SAPmail and the Excel List Viewer are also integrated into drilldown reporting.
The drilldown functions are divided into three groups which differ in the number of functions available. That way each user can choose the functional level most suited for his requirements.
In addition to the online functions for displaying reports, drilldown reporting also provides functions which let you print reports. A number of formatting functions are available to let you determine the look of your printed reports (page breaks, headers and footers, underscores, and so on).
The menus and the functions available directly on the drilldown report make it easy to use the information system.
What is an Interactive Report?
An interactive report generally works in the following fashion:
1. Basic list is displayed.
2. User double clicks on any valid line
    or
    User selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar.
3. The corresponding event is triggered
4. Then in the code, the line on which action was done, is read.
5. Depending on the values in that selected line, a secondary list is displayed.
6. Steps from 2-5 are repeated till the end.
From the above explanation, I believe, its clear that, the 20th list, will essentially depend on the "selected line" of 19th list. According to your question, you want to move to 20th list directly, without "a prior list". May I know the exact requirement so that, an appropriate solution can be suggested? 
Again, your question was, how to move to 20th list directly on pressing of execute button. Its not possible to move to 20th list. You must cross over a basic list, before you can go to a different list level, using the code given by Pavan. 
What are Drilldown reports?
The lines of basic list of a drilldown report when clicked, will take the user to the corresponding (standard) object's display.
For eg: Suppose your report's primary component is purchase requisition, (assume you are printing PR details), and the basic list displays details of many PRs.
Eg: when clicked on a particular line of the PR basic list, it takes you to std t-code me53 (display of purchase requisition). This is the 'Drill-down' functionality.
For this, in the at-line selection of your program, as per the above ex: you'll set the parameter ID of PR number BAN (that you can get from Data element) in memory (using set parameter id) and then calling the corresponding transaction (usually skipping initial screen of the std t-code).   
Likewise, if it's Material Number (Matnr), you'll be displaying MM03 transaction w.r.t. the line's matnr.
AKSHAT..........

Good, information. But I think you should post these items in Wiki, in place of forum, as here we have Qns & Ans;  problems and solutions.

  • Difference between class report and interactive report

    please give me the differences between  classical report and interactive report

    Hi,read the following :
    In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:
    Classical Reports
    Interactive Reports
    Logical Database Reports
    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. 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
    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).
    Logical Database Reports
    Logical database is another tool for ABAP reports. Using LDB we can provide extra features for ABAP reports.
    While using LDB there is no need for us to declare Parameters.
    Selection-screen as they will be generated automatically.
    We have to use the statement NODES in ABAP report.
    ABAP Query Reports
    ABAP query is another tool for ABAP. It provides efficency for ABAP reports. These reports are very accurate.
    Transaction Code : SQ01
    Report Writer / Report painter
    Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.
    Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.
    ALV reports
    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.

    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

    3. AT PF<key>
    4. TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
    HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list.
    sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line.
    sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
    Interactive Report Events:
    AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
    AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
    AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
    TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION :top of page event for secondary list.

  • Difference between Drill down Report and Interactive Report

    What is the difference between Drill down Report and Interactive Report?

    Hi,
        Drill down report and Interactive report seems to be acts as same. But there is a minor difference between those two.
    Drill Down Report  - When you  click on a particular field in a report it drills down to the next report, it won't trigger another screen.
    Interactive Report -  When you click on a particular field in a report it will trigger another report based on the field clicked. It opens another session internally in the same screen.

  • How to have both Classic Report and Interactive Report from the same page?

    Hello APEX developers,
    I want to copy a page consisting of master-detail form together with its data, as in data stored in the tables.
    I've generated a master-detail form(which by default having its detail report as a classic report). I want to copy this page and then migrate this classic report to Interactive Report. This way, I have both the classic master-detail form with report AND the master-detail Interactive Report.
    I've tried doing this but ended up getting a new master-detail Interactive Report page without its data.
    Any feedback is appreciated.

  • Difference between google analytics and bc report?

    When I compare GA and BC, BC shows me more than double number of visitors and pageviews than google.
    For example June:
    Visitors/Pageviews
    BC: 1386/4087
    GA: 492/1647
    Thats so much difference, that I don't know which system I should trust. How can I interpret this data and how many visitors are visiting my site in reality?

    Hi,
    Our analytics work fundamentally differently like other services (Google, etc) so there can be discrepancies in the data between them.
    For example, Google Analytics counts a page visit as a 30 minute session. If the person is inactive for 31 minutes and then clicks again, it counts as 2 visits.
    As for BC individual visits are given a 1 hour session before they time out and are counted as a new visitor. Unique visitors are kept unique via a cookie for up to 1 year.
    Every time a user interacts with the site this is refreshed (so if you view a page once and then 30 minutes later, the timeout would not occur until 1hr 30 min after you viewed the page the first time).
    Google relies on JavaScript to record usage whilst BC does it each time it serves content. We use a number of methodologies to detect bots including user-agent string, repetitive hits from same IP or location amongst others. There's the reason why the numbers are different and cannot be compared. You can compare the results provided either by Business Catalyst for a long period or by Google Analytics, but not one method with the other.
    Whilst there may be differences in the exact number of reported visits (as Google Analytics and BC have different ‘count’ processes and Bot handling mechanism’s) the main use for visitor statistics should be to view trends over time, which you should find are similar between GA and BC reporting.
    If needing us to look into your report further please log a ticket and we'll advise.
    Hope this helps!

    Scott,
    Sorry, that was a useless bug report... ;)
    What I was actually referring to was the little Parsing Errors report at the bottom of the page/report. I've come to rely on this quite a bit but I had an Interactive Report that was based in part on a table that was dropped and it was not displayed in the parsing errors. I believe the main report is working fine.

    1. There is NO diff btw    Interactive and Drilldown.
    2. get cursor.
    get cursor field <field_name>  value <field_value>.
    when you double clik on any line in list..reads particular field instead of whole line (where you clicked).

  • What is the  difference between list display and grid display in alv report

    Hai genious
    i am a new of the abap, i dont know the alv report, i have a small doubt, can u please tell me  what is the main difference between list display and grid display in alv report
    thanks&regards
    chinnu

    Hi ,
    1. For all practical purposes, they are the same.
    2. Some differences:
    a) from abap coding point of view,
    alv list is done with Function modules,
    alv gris can also be done with FM,
    but can also be done using OO concepts.
    b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires
    designing the screen layout .
    Hence, in one screen, we can show more
    then one alv grid
    (we cannot show more than
    one alv list on one screen)
    c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls
    present on the Presentation Server.
    Hence, it consumes More Memory
    on the presentation server.
    d) ALV LIST is Display Only.
    Whereas
    ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.
    e) In alv grid, these options are possible,
    but not in alv list.
    without horizontal lines
    without vertical lines
    without cell merging during sorts
    display total lines above the entries
    I hope it helps.

  • Diff between interactive report and interactive alv

    Diff between interactive report and interactive alv? Suppose I have been given certain program then how I will diffrentiate that this prog should be done in interactive alv or interactive report.

    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.
