Placing tab character in a report, how to...

[Colin Glass]

I found it easier to produce a tab delimited file in QTP.  What I have done
is created two temporary items with two item statements, as follows:

TEMP   T-TAB-ESC         INTEGER   SIZE 2
  ITEM T-TAB-ESC             INITIAL 9

TEMP   T-TAB             CHARACTER SIZE 1
  ITEM T-TAB                 INITIAL CHARACTERS(T-TAB-ESC)[2:1]

The item T-TAB is the tab delimiter.

I am working with QUIZ 7.29 on MPE/iX 5.5pp7.  I have to generate a file
which is e-mailed to another site and part of the requirement is that the
fields be separated with a tab character.  I can't seem to find anything in
the manual for how to insert a specific ASCII value, %011, into a string.

Any hints greatly appreciated.
