  The SAP error message 65083, "Select a tabstrip name as the default," typically occurs in the context of SAP GUI programming, particularly when working with tabstrip controls in screen programming (dynpro). This error indicates that the system expects a default tabstrip to be defined, but it has not been set.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  No Default Tabstrip Defined: The tabstrip control does not have a default tab defined, which is necessary for the system to know which tab to display when the screen is first loaded.
  Incorrect Configuration: The tabstrip might be incorrectly configured in the screen painter or the associated ABAP code.
  Missing Tabstrip Name: The tabstrip name may not have been specified in the relevant properties or code.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Define a Default Tabstrip:
  
  Open the screen in the Screen Painter (SE80 or SE41).
  Select the tabstrip control.
  In the properties of the tabstrip, ensure that a default tab is selected. This is usually done by setting the "Default Tab" property to the name of one of the tabs.
  
  
  
  Check ABAP Code:
  
  If you are dynamically setting the tabstrip in your ABAP code, ensure that you are correctly specifying the default tab.
  Use the SET TABSTRIP statement to set the default tab if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Tabstrip Configuration:
  
  Ensure that all tabs within the tabstrip are correctly defined and that there are no missing or incorrectly named tabs.
  Check for any syntax errors or misconfigurations in the screen attributes.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, activate the screen and test it to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
