How to export import TAB delimited data
INTRODUCTION:
=============
Customers have asked how to use tab as a delimiter for the export and
import statements.
This kbase shows how to do it.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
You can refer to the TAB character with a escape character expression.
The TAB character is represented: ~011.

END.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
Example 2:
INPUT FROM file.txt.
