    Hi,

    You are able to check characters based on the Codepage.

    For instance, I use this often to identify a carriage-return character in a file.

    I just stole the following code from another forum :-)
    You must figure out number in the codepage your TAB has and replace it accordingly.

    CHAR10 := 10;
CHAR13 := 13;
POS := STRPOS("Your Field", FORMAT(CHAR10));
IF POS <> 0 THEN ERROR('Pasting Canceled Carrage Return Exists');
POS := STRPOS("Your Field", FORMAT(CHAR13));
IF POS <> 0 THEN ERROR('Pasting Canceled Line Feed Exists');
