type x is binary data and vlaues enclosed in apostrophes are string or chars.

use the constants declared in CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES eg:

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

GCX_INTRO = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

Hi,

CONSTANTS:
  con_cret  TYPE x VALUE '0D', "OK for non Unicode
  con_tab   TYPE x VALUE '09'. "OK for non Unicode
 
*"If you have Unicode check active in program attributes then declare  *"constants as follows
CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.
CONSTANTS:
 con_cret TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.  
                                       " Carriage Return and Line Feed
 con_tab  TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab, " tab
                                       " Horizontal Tab Stop
