My apology for the previous message that was not meant to be sent out. I
accidentally hit the wrong key.

Dear SAS-Lers:

I am trying to read into SAS a text file delimited by tab. For the infile
statement I need to enter the code for the tab delimiter such as delimiter='
'. I remember the code for tab as a delimiter is '09'x as delimiter='09x'.
Am I correct?

Thanks in advance for your help.
