How can I use %SCAN built-in function to find first 'TAB' in string ?
I ever read function documentation : https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c0925083586.htm
Thanks !

What do you mean by 'TAB'? AFAIK, the EBCDIC character set does not defined a TAB character. – David G Jan 18 '17 at 14:27

I don't know how to say it in english. Hex code = 09 – Crunch Jan 18 '17 at 15:33

1hex 09 is tab in ASCII, not in EBCDIC. Check out ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/gcoc/attachments/CP00037.pdf – David G Jan 18 '17 at 15:59

Find first tab in string. The tab is hex05 in ebcidic
nonzero x is found.
eval x = %scan(x'05':mystring:1)
