Hi,

How does one use/define an actual TAB character into a QUIZ report?

I tried the following, but get no results...

DEF D-9 NUM*1 = 9
DEF D-TAB-A CHAR*2 = CHAR(D-9)
def a char*5 = "hello"
def b char*5 = "there"
set subfile name tmp1 keep
REP a d-tab-a b d-tab-a a d-tab-a b

and I get....

HELLO THERE HELLO THERE

Where the "spaces" in between the words are actually character zero (not the
actual zero digit ie: ascii 48, but the zero in the ascii table ie: ascii
00). Why?

Any help appreciated. Thank you.
