I have found the tab character to be extremely effective in delineating
columns of information.  The simple command:

SWAP CHAR(9) WITH @VM IN <report-table>

Instantly changes the report to a usable table in UniBasic.  Using any
'printing' character (like the pipe '|' or caret '^') is unreliable as
to guaranteeing clean column/value marks.

Subject: [U2] [UD] Tab characters in output

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is confounding - the output
of
the list users command in UniData contains tab characters, which is just
another obstacle the engineers give us to program around!
