Tabstrip Controls

A tabstrip control is a screen element that is made up of multiple tab pages. Every tab page contains a one line tab title associated with a function code and which can be used to select the tab page by clicking once. Under the tab title, a tab page is made up of a subscreen area. Each tab title must have a subscreen area assigned to it, in which any subscreens can be displayed. There are two ways to do this:

• Browsing in SAP GUI
  
  A separate subscreen area is assigned to each tab title, and the function codes of the tab titles are defined with function type "P". If the user selects a tab title, the event PAI is not triggered. The associated subscreens are included once in each individual subscreen area by using the CALL SUBSCREEN statement of the flow logic. If the user selects a tab title, the SAP GUI browses to the associated tab page and displays its subscreen.

• Browsing in ABAP Programs
  
  The same subscreen area is assigned to each tab title, and the function codes of the tab titles are defined without typing. If the user selects a tab title, the event PAI is triggered. The associated subscreen is included dynamically using the CALL SUBSCREEN statement of the flow logic in the subscreen area each time the user browses. In the ABAP program, the associated tab page must be activated using CONTROLS and the correct subscreen dynpro for the subscreen area must be specified.

Note

If a tab title entry is selected when browsing in SAP GUI, input checks are not made and data is not transported to the ABAP program. Only if a user action triggers the PAI event are all the entries checked and the data of all screens transported. When browsing in the ABAP program, the input is checked each time a tab title is selected and the current tab page data is transported to the ABAP program of the subscreen dynpro.
