I guess you are doing a LOOP statement in tht PBO to turn fields off, right?

Loop at screen. 
   screen-input = 0.
   modify screen.
endloop.

You must be careful not to do this for all elements in the screen, it appears that you are since the system is telling you that you are doing it for the tabstrip element. Make sure to check the SCREEN-NAME for the fields that you want to turn off, or use the GROUP1 field.

Well, you need to do something, because you are modifing parts of the tabstrip which I don't think you want to do. If you assign a group to all of the fields on your screen which you want to make not ready for input, you can simply do this.

Loop at screen.
   if screen-group1 = 'GP1'.
     screen-input = 0.
     modify screen.
   endif.
endloop.

So all you need to do is set the group1 field in the screen elements table for all of the fields on that screen which you want to turn off.
