I have a started task that (among many other things) will display its own parameters, something like
Parm1=WIDGET Parm2=FOOBAR At present all of the values it displays are printable characters. Due to an enhancement it is possible that one of the parameters will contain a horizontal tab character. A C programmer would expect the display to become Parm2=FOO\tBAR. MS Word would say FOO^tBAR. But those of you who are "real mainframers through and through," how would you expect a tab to be represented in a display? The value is going to be all printable characters 99% of the time so going to hex and character is probably a clumsy approach. Parm2=FOO<tab>BAR Parm2=FOO\tBAR Parm2=FOO^tBAR Or what?
