Tab Strips

[Former Member]

Hello Friends ,

I have 2 screens for update . Screen1 contains the general info of the employee and screen2 the Salary info . User enters General info in screen1 and uses a push button to go to screen2 to update salary info . Sometimes the user forgets to go to screen2 .

I am planning to use Tab functionality . Is there a way we could modify the existing screen and implement using tab strips . Can I cover the whole screen2 into 1 tab and screen1 in another tab ? How much of redesigning needs to be done . Please advise .

Thanks & Regards,

You need to create a main screen to hold the sub screens (screen1 & screen2). Add a tabstrip control (sub1) to this main screen, and create tabs (TAB1, TAB2, etc.).

In the PBO event, write a routine that calls a module (choose_subscr) that sets each of the subscreens, depending upon which tab control is clicked;

  
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
...
  module choose_subscr.
  CALL SUBSCREEN sub1 INCLUDING  sy-cprog dynnr.


* module choose_subscr: 
CASE mytabs-activetab.
    WHEN 'TAB1'.
      dynnr = screen1.
    WHEN 'TAB2'.
      dynnr = screen2.
    WHEN OTHERS.
      mytabs-activetab = 'TAB1'.
      dynnr = 101.
  ENDCASE.

You will also need to code some modules to handle the updates in addition to this.

Hope this helps.
