Not what you asked, but you can make the CA stack do the same as IBM by using the TAB command. (Apologies if you already know this)
SITE TABS(0) TABS (integer) Specifies the tab stop interval to be used in receiving the next file. Default: Eight. Limit: 25. TABS(0) translates tab characters (for example, ASCII x'09' is translated to EBCDIC x'05'); TABS(1) replaces each tab character with a blank.
