TAB function need to update the navigation stack.

The product involved is IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 User Interface (TOM) and not OM XE for IMS but TOM isn't in the product list.

TAB function should be re-designed to correctly update the navigation stack.

In the current design, when you invoke a tabbed dialog, and navigate forward, the tabbed dialog workspace itself is not placed in the stack. But Tabbed panels are really needed to speed up the way we navigate from a panel to another one.

Fast navigation in TOM is a "MUST" (as well as a toolkit to build our own workspaces as described in RFE 51105).
The TAB function is absolutely needed for that and must be re-designed to correctly update the navigation stack.

    We have chosen to reject this request.
    The current implementation follows standards as used in all windowing layouts. To change this within the e3270UI could confuse existing and future users.
