TAB - DualBrain/bsharp GitHub Wiki
Spaces to position n on the screen.
Syntax
TAB(n)
Comments
If the current print position is already beyond space n, TAB
goes to that position on the next line.
Space 1 is the leftmost position. The rightmost position is the screen width.
n must be within the range of 1 to 255.
If the TAB
function is at the end of a list of data items, BASIC will not return the cursor to the next line. It is as though the TAB
function has an implied semicolon after it.
TAB
may be used only in PRINT, LPRINT, or PRINT# statements (see the SPC function).

20 READ A$,B$
30 PRINT A$ TAB(25) B$
40 DATA "G. T. JONES","$25.00"
NAME AMOUNT
G. T. JONES $25.00
