Problem:

What does compiler directive SOURCETABSTOP do?

Resolution:

SOURCETABSTOP sets how many spaces tabs are expanded to when the checker reads the source code. In the Visual Studio IDE, when you press tab you get one space whereas, in the Micro Focus IDE, pressing tab will insert a set number of spaces.  With SOURCETABSTOP"8" this would be 8.
