The %tab internal variable may be used to add a literal tab character to a string.

 

For example, the following command builds a string with column headers separated by tabs:

 

SET my_row_header = "name" & %tab & "address" & %tab & "email"

 

These variables may come in handy when formatting data which will be written to files where literal tab characters are required, such as a TSV (tab-separated value) file.
