TAB characteristic

Hi,

I spliting a string at tab delimiter.

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.

but in c1 i am getting 2 charaters as 'squarebox#'

I need only #.

Y is it so.

Can help me on this
