Have a look the following flow chart, for which we are going to build in wizard.

Step 1 : Create a program with three screens:  

First screen to get two numbers as input with two radio buttons of arithmetic operations(Add/Subtract).

Second screen to show the addition result.

Third screen to show the subtraction result.

All these screens should be “subscreens”. So that they can be placed in wizard.  

Step 2 : Wizard title and description creation:  

To have wizard title and description in every screen of wizard, we need to create document text object. Go to transaction SE61 and create a dialog text object.

Create the title with a brief description, save and activate.
