DETABIFY

       Replaces tabs in character strings with appropriate number of spaces

       The number of space characters inserted is calculated to space
       out to the next effective tab stop, each of which is eight characters
       apart.

       Result = DETABIFY( CHAR_STR )

       CHAR_STR = Character string variable (or array) to remove tabs from.

       Result of function is CHAR_STR with tabs replaced by spaces.

       CHAR_STR must be a character string variable.
