For tab delimiter I have declared variables as follows:

DATA:

c1. " Holds Tab Character.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f>.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:<delimiter> TYPE c1.

DATA: del(4) TYPE x VALUE '09'

Assign del to <delimiter> casting.

WRITE <delimiter> TO c1.

I need only #.

Y is it so.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f>.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:<delimiter> TYPE c1.
