I don't know why it works, but this should work:

global function convertTab(sequence s, integer n)
    sequence r
    integer i
    i = 1
    r = ""
    while i <= length(s) do
        if s[i] = '\t' then
            r = r & repeat(' ',n)
        else
            r = r & s[i]
        end if
        i = i + 1
    end while
    return r
end function
