How to insert TAB character as separator when writing a file

Hello,

How is it possible to insert a TAB character as separator of field when writing a file using File and Outstream object?

Thank you

You create a variable "TXTTab" Type CHAR

OnPreDataItem()
TXTTab := 09;

Then use that field in your code: (see sample below)

WriteFile := 'D'+FORMAT(TXTTab)+ItemNo+FORMAT(TXTTab)+FORMAT(Quantity);
Stream.WRITETEXT(WriteFile);
Stream.WRITETEXT();

Result looks like:
