Tab delimiter

Dear guys,
I used frequently UNSTRING identifier DELIMITED BY "," with success.
Now, it is the first time I am trying to unstring a tab delimited file.
I tried DELIMITED BY X"09"; ...X"9"...X'9'...X'09'...TAB...without
success. In the best scenario, it only unstrings the 1rst. field.
Currently, I am using Fujitsu COBOL85.
When I compile using "X9" or X'9' or X'09' this is the error:
JMN1028I-S NUMBER OF HEXADECIMAL CHARACTERS(0 THROUGH 9 AND A THROUGH
F) OF HEXADECIMAL NONNUMERIC LITERAL MUST BE MULTIPLE OF 2. ZERO IS
ADDED TO THE LAST CHARACTER.
I will appreciate if anyone can help me.
Thanks
