What is an Interactive Report?

DPM125 — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 11:01:13 +0000

An Interactive Report in ABAP is a report that lets users interact with the list (usually by clicking on a line or hotspot).

When the user clicks, the program reacts to the event and shows secondary details (like drilling down).

Classic mechanism: Events AT LINE-SELECTION, AT USER-COMMAND, AT PFx.

Example Scenario (using `MARA` → `MARC`)

Basic list (Level 1): Show materials (MARA).
Secondary list (Level 2): When user clicks on a material, show its plant-specific details (MARC).
