"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.
