This is (for me) SO ridiculous, I had to show my systems' programmer 'cos I knew he wouldn't believe me otherwise.

I'm editing some simple COBOL source. I have a line containing
Code:

           move '  '                   to CGLGGA17-TxnActgTp   

(and before anyone asks this, here is the hex code for this line)
Code:

           move '  '                   to CGLGGA17-TxnActgTp     
4444444444499A8474474444444444444444444A94CCDCCCFF6EA9C8A8E944444
0000000000046550D00D000000000000000000036037377117037513373700000

If I now place the cursor within the quotes and enter ?? instead, I get the following
Code:

           move '  '                   to CGLGGA17-TxnActgTp   
                                                               

Note how the ?? characters have disappeared and been replaced with the original double blanks, but a new line has been inserted as well
If I was to enter ??? I would get 2 new blank lines.

I tried editing another member in the same PDS with the same results.
I logged off and then on with a different "system" and the problem disappeared.
I also logged off and on using the original failing "system", but the problem remained.

I realise this is a curiosa, but does anyone even have a vague suggestion ???

Found the answer. SOMEHOW or other, my edit profile had been changed to TABS ON ?

Changed to TABS OFF and the problem disappeared
