tab as a filler

[Svengiyil]

Hi,

I need to have tab as a delimeter between two columns for the file I generate from datastage.

For ex: A<tab><tab>B<tab><tab>C

Is there any function like Space function in ds using which we can generate tab?

Thank you,
Svengiyil

The Char() function lets you input an ASCII value and the function returns that character. Thus, "Char(9)" would give you a TAB character.

Thanks a lot ArndW, Its working for me.

Performance tip: initialize a stage variable, say svTAB, to Char(9). That way the function is only evaluated once.
