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'.

So I'm creating this file on the IFS. Create the file with CCSID 819. I'm
writing tab delimited fields. I thought a x'09' was a tab, but when I create
the file, it's putting a x'8D' in the file. Any ideas? Thanks...
