I tried it with with x'09', and was surprised when I viewed the file that it
was a x'8D'. I changed it to x'05', and it now shows up as a x'09'.
thanks...

x'09' is the ASCII code for tab. x'05' is the EBCDIC code for tab.

You didn't say how you're writing the data -- but if it's being
translated from EBCDIC to ASCII (which appears to be the case) then you
need to write x'05' -- after it get translated it should be x'09'.

the file, it's putting a x'8D' in the file. Any ideas? Thanks...
