You may find it convenient to make the mechanical tab settings
coincide with the logical tab settings. Details for doing this are
given in the section describing EDIT (TABSET) in the Command
Language Refer·e·nce manual.
If you do not use the TABSET subcommand, the default tab settings
used by the system vary with the data set type. The defaults are shown
in Figure 4.

Default Tab settings
If you want to change the default settings or other settings you
previously established, or nullify all tabs, you must use the TABSET
subcommand. If you want to change the default settings, you will
probably do so before· you create the data set. That means you must
request edit mode after you enter the EDIT command., then enter the
TABSET subcommand and return to the input mode to create the data set.
For example, if you want to create a TEXT data set with the logical tabs
at columns
10, 25,
and
35,
you can use the following sequence:
READY
edit series new text
INPUT
00010·
(null line)
EDIT
tabset
10 25 35
(null line)
INPUT
00010
