To evaluate the existence of an EBCDIC tab character, let's take the total

years of experience among all the members of this list. (For me, that's a
nontrivial number.)
If that quotient would suffice to persuade Virginia that yes, there is an
EBCDIC tab character, then I will cave. Otherwise I stand by my assertion.
Going off on a tangent any one who ever coded up a 3270 screen using the
3270 attributes etc. will have probably coded many TAB characters. Bing
well over40 years since I last codes a 3270 screen have forgotten the
varios attribute characters but if you can finf the 3270 datastrean
reference book thwn all would be revealed.
