I don't think the presence of a "tab" character [X'09'] makes any difference
to Fijutsu COBOL. The word "TAB" isn't mentioned in their extensive
documentation. Their definition of LINE SEQUENTIAL file simply says "...
consists of records delimited by delimiters(!). ...one line consists of
printable characters and record delimiters...."

And that's about it.

The quote I made was directly from a Fujitsu manual, actual paper
printed copy "Fujitsu COBOL 4.0 User's Guide for Windows Vol 1" pp231.

The exact same wording is in the NetCOBOL for Linux User's Guide on
page 137, with examples. I would be surprised to not find it in the
NetCOBOL for Windows User's Guide.

I had previously determined this was the case some years ago and I
retested this with another Fujitsu compiler, version 7 for Linux,
before posting and found it to be true. What actual testing have you
done to determine how they treat tab characters in line sequential
files ?
