Putting TABS in SUBFILES

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

Scott

An item defined as INT*9 is a double word integer. Your assignment to a
single character item will take the first byte of the string expression
CHAR(xxx) which will be binary zeroes on an HP 3000.

How about:
define d-09 int*2 = 9 ; use a single word integer
define d-tab char*1 = char(d-09)[2:1] ; take the rightmost byte
