SET_TABS

The SET_TABS statement defines the GPP tab positions. Tab positions can be used when the GPP developer wishes to align output characters to specific positions (columns) in the output file.

SET_TABS N1 N2 N3 ...;

Up to 20 tab positions can be specified in the SET_TABS statement, and they must be specified in increasing order. The GPP default tab positions are 8, 16, 24, …, up to 160.

The tab positions are used with the special TAB_ keyword used in an OUTPUT statement. See a more detailed discussion in the section describing the OUTPUT executable statement.

Example

SET_TABS 4 8 12 16 24 28 32 40; // 4 column increments

SET_TABS 2 4 8 16 32 64 66 // any sequence is OK
