Request for system variable TAB

Post by buzz » Wed Aug 03, 2005 5:21 pm

This TAB system defined variable would be used in writeln command. Currently, Macro Scheduler only supports CR, LF, and CRLF. By having TAB variable added, we could build tabular test reports which would present test data clearer and more professional.

Thanks.

Fair point, but can be done already:

VBSTART
VBEND
VBEval>vbTab,tab

That puts the tab character into a variable called tab.

But will add to native MacroScript.
