To evaluate the existence of an EBCDIC tab character, let's take the total number of instances in which any member of this list has ever in their career had occasion to code X'05'in a z/OS file for any functional purpose whatever.

I remember tab characters being required when when configuring some z/OS UNIX configuration files, such as those used for bind or sendmail. I probably typed in a couple/few of dozen of them at one point in time or ~1 per year of total mainframe experience.
