I believe that was introduced in 10.2.2.

For 10.2.1, you can simulate tabs quite easily:
1. Create a string variable with values for each of your pages. Make sure to default to the first value if no value is provided.
2. Go to the page properties, and set a render variable on each page.
3. Create a 1-row table with enough columns to match your pages. Place a text item in each cell, and create a drill through definition. The value you send is the page you want to render.

Formatting hints:
- If you set the text item to Box Type: Block, and assign height and width values, the whole table cell is clickable (more user friendly)

- For clickable links, I always assign a css property of "cursor:pointer;". Again, more user friendly.

- You can create REALLY nice buttons by assigning background effects, with fill, gradient, rounded borders and transparency. Make sure you assign a width and height value to the cell.

guys um so sorry. :(
there's already a threat with this topic (http://www.cognoise.com/index.php?topic=17517.0).
and yeah this provided perfect solution for my requirement:

No worries :) Just be careful with using the approach of using javascript, as future upgrades can possible break your reports. I would go with multi-tab portlets or the drill through approach.
