Creating Structure in SAP ABAP

Structures 
A structure (structured type) comprises components (fields). Types are defined for the components A component can refer to an elementary type (via a data element or by directly specifying the data type and length in the structure definition), another structure or a table type. A structure can therefore be nested to any depth.

How to create Data Type Structure in SAP ABAP

Structures are used to define the data at the interface of module pools and screens and to define the parameter types of function modules.

There are Flat, nested and deep structures. A flat structure only references elementary types. A nested structure references at least one further structure, but not a table type. A deep structure references at least one table type.

How to create Interactive Report in SAP ABAP

Image
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: AT LINE-SELECTION AT USER-COMMAND AT PF<key> 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

Sorting of records Filtering of records Totals and Sub-totals Download the report output to Excel/HTML Changing the order of the columns in the report Hide the unwanted columns  from the report Because of the above functions, ALV substantially decreases the report development time.
