[er_awasthi]

Hi ,
What is the delimter for createing a tab delimted file in SAS ? is it X'09' or X'05' ? I google but google created a confusion ?

That will depend on the codepage you're using - but hex 05 sounds very familiar 😉

Yep, it will depend entirely on your system encoding.

Generally for ASCII systems use '09'x, for EBCDIC use '05'x
