Hi.
A service provider is requesting a tab delimited file of data. For any data value that is not being sent over they would like to see a space in the field such as:
data1[tab] [tab]data3 (space between tabs)
In my code I'll have a statement such as move ' ' to data2.
When I review the file that is generated we end up with:
data1[tab][tab]data3 (not space between tabs)
Is there a way to force the space to show up via Cobol 4GL? Maybe move the hex equivalient of a space to the field?
Thanks.
