How to get rid of empty space in module pool screen?

Question

Hello Experts,
In module pool, I have 2 table controls inside 2 separate boxes in the same screen. Based on some conditions I hide the first table control. It's all working fine. But the space where first table is created remains blank in the screen. I don't want that.If the first table control is hidden the second table control should occupy the empty space. I do not want empty space in the screen.
How can I acheive this.Is there anything I can set in the screen attribute level.
Thanks.
Yasin.

Hi Yasin,
As you said you have 2 sub screen areas and also 2 subscreens.
when hide the First subscreen from First Subscreen area, you need to assign the second subscreen on to the first subscreen area and a dummy subscreen on to second subscreen area, this is a kind of work around and bit tricky playing with screen elements
in Top Include
data dynnr type sy-dynnr value '100' " your default Subscreen number
in PBO
call subscreen sub1 including sy-repid dynnr1 " First Sub screen area
call subscreen sub2 including sy-repid dynnr2 " Second sub screen area
in PAI
module call_dyn_number.
in program.
case ok_code.
when 'HIDE'. " When you hide the first table control
dynnr1 = '200' " This is your second table control containing Screen number
dynnr2 = '300'. "This is a Dummy Screen Number which doesnt contain any screen elements so output is plain
" Note: This is a crude IDEA only as you try to implement you need to adjust this for the expected outcome
" I implemented this earlier but dont have complete ref at this moment
endcase.
Hope this serves your purpose
