An integer expression that specifies a tab position within a field group.
You can use the MOVE-AFTER-TAB-ITEM( ) and MOVE-BEFORE-TAB-ITEM( ) methods to change the tab position of fields at the field level, and the FIRST-TAB-ITEM and LAST-TAB-ITEM attributes to change the tab positions at the field group level.
