Interactive Reports in SAP ABAP

SAP ABAP Interactive ReportsInteractive Reports in SAP- ABAP classical reports have
just one program that creates just a single list. Typically,
this results in the data having all the information
displayed, even those that the reader may not be
interested in. This results in a lot of cluttering of data or
overloading of information.
To improve upon this, we have Interactive reports in
ABAP. Using interactive reports we can get the sort of
output we want, single out on the details of a particular
data entry and interact with the system. We can tell the
system about the specific data that we need.
While in classical reports, we have only one list, in
interactive reports, we have a secondary list, which can lead to another list so we have 19 secondary lists
and one basic lists in interactive reports, or a total of 20 lists in all. Even the secondary lists can be
interactive.
Interactive reports are also event driven reports. The events of an interactive report are
At line-selection
At user-command (for menu driven programming)
Top-of-Page During Line-Selection (for Secondary Page Header info).
