See Joe, here's my afternoon brain slip:
(square brackets below are missing from
original brain download)

You mention PDF as the destination,
but I don't think [you mention] what engine you
are using to get there(to the PDF)?

Hi Masoud,

Just like your test below,


data test;a=1;
run;
title "Hello" "09"x "World.";
proc print data=test;
run;


does work fine outputting a TAB in
the appropriate place.

You mention PDF as the destination,
but I don't think what engine you
are using to get there(to the PDF)?

For example, if going to PDF via RTF
you would need  \tab right tab  or
\tab left tab  or  \tab 1" tab  etc.

Some other engines use octal   \009
or hex  \09  or \t  or  &#9  in html.

I also recall using the escapecharacter
and embedding formatting and special
characters into the TITLE string for
special outputs, but I think we need
to know what engine is being used in
between the TITLE statement and the PDF.

Mark

Using BYTE(09), as expected, does not shoe as tab in the PDF output.

Thanks,

Re: Tab character






"09"x is a hex number token (actually, 9)- not a character.  Try
BYTE('09'x)
perhaps?  Not sure about how that would interface with ODS PDF though.
