To assign an unprintable/ASCII character to a temp field - usually for output to a data file or for specifying an import delimiter - use the proval modifier.
[&Assign TF01=”chr(9)”:proval] would be ascii char 8 – tab character
[&Assign TF01="chr(2)":proval] would be ascii char 2 – start of text
Then use TF01 as the import file delimiter or as part of an output command.
ASCII/unprintable characters (partial list):
2 (STX) Start of text marker
3 (ETX) End of Text marker
9 (TB) TAB
28 (FS) Field start/separator
29 (GS) Group start/separator
30 (RS) Record start/separator
