Normal report and ALV report, where exactly both are differs?

For Normal report and ALV report, where exactly both are differs, I mean from which part the process / coding will differ, pls le me know..?
Akshitha.

Hi Akshitha,
In Normal reports we use formatting techniques to display the report list. We define heading and size everything to display report list. But where as in alv we need not to use any formating there are some function modules which will automatically display output list in LIST and GRID format.
In Normal report we cannot make changes to the output list where in ALV report we can change the ALV output display dynamically. You can find lots of options for the ALV list such as you can download output list into Excel sheet and Sorting options Acending and decending order in ALV but in normal report We need to write syntax in the report to display output list in sorting order. The ALV report is very easy way to display the output compared to Ordinary report.
Check below some links which will help you to understand about ALV. If you know about Normal report you can campare by userself the difference.

Difference between normal funcation and ALV funcational module

Hi Gurus,
Please answer for this question
what is the differnce between normal funcation and ALV funcational module ?
Thanks/Radha.

Hi,
There are two ways of reporting List report and alv report.
the normal write statement usage gives us a listt report.
But ALV report offers a good asthetic report output. It almost function as your Excel File .
You can do many functions Total ,Subtotaling,sorting,filtering,
etc.
There two ways to do ALV report i.e. using function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and using OOPS concept.

What i sthe diff b/w Interactive Report and ALV Interactive report

Hi All,
I want to know the basic diff b/w Interactive report and ALV interactive report.
Can any one tell me the exact diif.
Thanks in Advance,
Jd

hi jagadish,
both are used for same purpose
interactive report means an output list which displays basic details & allows 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. a total no of 21 lists including main list are genearetd in interactive lists.
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. using oops we can also do alv reporting.
if helpful reward some points.
with regards,
suresh babu aluri.

Interactive report and ALV s in HR ABAP.

hi all,
can any one tell , how to do Interactive reporting and alv's in HR ABAP. with some example reports..

Hi Rao
Nothing changes for HR ABAP when it comes to ALV or Interactive Lists. Only the DATA fetching process is changed. To fetch HR data , you use Logical Database PNP or Clusters or just read a specific infotype using a method.
Here is a sample program for ALV 'BALVST02_GRID'. For interactive list , use this demo program
DEMO_LIST_INTERACTIVE_1. It is a series of Demo Programs which you can open in SE38.
Reward Points, if helpful.

Number of Classical , Interactive and ALV reports in Project.

Hi,
I am new to ABAP.
Can anybody please tell me how many Classical , Interactive and ALV reports will be there in a approximate one year span of project ? and how many input parameters ( Select-options) will be there in a report. if you send the some sample input parameters in a report how it looks in real time will help me to practice and for the interviews.
Thanks,
Maanasa..

Maanasa,
Welcome to SDN
It entirely depends upon the project, on your team and on the specs of the requirement....
From interview point of view no body is going to ask u such questions, becz there is no specific answer for such question.

Difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.

What is the difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.
i think there is no much difference the same Interactive report Events and functionality we will implement with ALV.
Experts guide me.

Hi,
ALV interactive report gives many advantages than interactive report like sorting, summing and getting graphics.
An interactive report generally basic list displayed. User double clicks on any valid line or user selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar. Then the corresponding event is triggered

You can find a interactive ALV report here

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.
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).
*More on Classical Vs Interactive*
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<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 r/3 report and bw report

Hi
can u give me detail difference between r/3 report and bw report.all information is geting in r/3 y bw report
plz send me any document if u have
prasanth.k

Hi,
These two reporting seem to function similarly with slice and dice.
A) The major benefits of reporting with BW over R/3 are in terms of performance and analysis.
1. Performance -- Heavy reporting along with regular OLTP transactions can produce a lot of load both on the R/3 and the database (cpu, memory, disks, etc). Just take a look at the load put on your system during a month end, quarter end, or year-end -- now imagine that occurring even more frequently.
2. Data analysis -- BW uses a Data Warehouse and OLAP concepts for storing and analyzing data, where R/3 was designed for transaction processing. With a lot of work you can get the same analysis out of R/3 but most likely would be easier from a BW.

Functional reporting and Administrative Reporting

Hi All,
Can anyone give the brief description for Functional reporting and Administrative Reporting with examples.
Its very urgent......
Regards,
Sita

Hi Sitarama,
According to me, functional reporting refers to the detailed reports that are generally executed & used by the people who are actually doing the job (e.g. Payroll specialist). We are generally developing functional reports with ABAP. On the other hand, administrative reporting refers to the more high-end reports that are detail-free and gives the overall picture. They are generally used by managers, etc. (e.g. HR manager). We generally carry out administrative reporting in BI.
For instance, a functional report may include all of the payroll wage types of the employees that are paid in the respective months whereas administrative report includes the total amount paid to all of the employees in the company.
I hope this helps.

Dilek

Use of READ REPORT and INSERT REPORT

Hi Guys,
i need a small help from u guys.......
i want to know the use of READ REPORT and INSERT REPORT with Example
the requirement is...
i want to declare an internal table with fields from custom table.
if any field is aded in the custum table then that field also should get populated in the program.
Ex: custom table fields are
MANDT
BUKRS
MATNR
LIFNR
field1
field2
field3
now suppose if a new field field4 is added in the Table
then the Program should automatically pick-up the fields from FIELD1...FIELD4.
i heard by using READ and INSERT report we can do it
plz help me ...
Thanks
Sunil.:-)

If you're on 46C or above, you can use the following to generate tables dynamically.
CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
EXPORTING
IT_FIELDCATALOG = GT_FIELDCAT
IMPORTING
EP_TABLE = GS_DATA_HEAD
EXCEPTIONS
GENERATE_SUBPOOL_DIR_FULL = 1
OTHERS = 2.
But you are restricted to 32 calls, if I remember correctly. If you are in a later release, you can use the RTTS classes to create internal tables dynamically, without the restriction on subroutine pools.
These classes are CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR and subclasses.
There are a few blogs on SDN that give examples of their use.
