You can modify Tagsets.CSV to create a tagset that uses a TAB character for the delimiter rather than a comma. The example below checks to see if the COLSTART variable has the value of "1". If it does, then the hexadecimal representation for a TAB is specified. For the mainframe, this character is "05"x. On ASCII systems the TAB character is "09"x.

   proc template;
      define tagset Tagsets.tab;
      define event header;
         put "09"x / if !cmp( COLSTART , "1" );
         put """" / if cmp( TYPE , "string" );
         put VALUE;
         put """" / if cmp( TYPE , "string" );
      end;
      define event data;
         put "09"x / if !cmp( COLSTART , "1" );
         put """" / if cmp( TYPE , "string" );
         put VALUE;
         put """" / if cmp( TYPE , "string" );
      end;
      define event colspanfill;
         put "09"x;
      end;
      define event rowspanfill;
         put "09"x;
      end;
      parent=tagsets.csv;
      end;
   run;

   ods markup file="temp.csv" tagset=tagsets.tab;

   proc print data=sashelp.class;
   run;

   ods markup close;
