I agree that it seems backwards. My guess is that, when TO DELIM was implemented, it output it as raw, which is pretty much useless for most implementations. So formatted output was added. But, rather than change the default behavior (and possibly screwing up anybody that had built anything around the old behavior), UDT.OPTIONS 91 was added. As we all know, changing behavior (even bad behavior) often causes more problems that it solves - not to mention much wailing and gnashing of teeth. ;-) Like I said, I'm just guessing. But if you look at a lot of the UDT.OPTIONS, they seem backwards; I suspect it's all for the same reason.
