2. Identify one screen as the main screen; if multiple screens are present.
3. In the function id ,where the call form is called is for the button (which launches call form) events, mention the main screen of the call form.
4. Provide Screen Arguments for the main screen.

   Any field which has to be populated based on the data from the calling Function id can be provided as the target block and target field.

   Normally values for the pk fields of the master data source can be retrieved from the screen arguments. Relationship between the calling function id and the call form will also be based on the pk columns of master data source.

6. If the screen does not have multiple tabs, then only the TAB_MAIN needs to be used. TAB_HEADER should not contain any sections in this scenario.

   Multiple Screens can be designed if required.
