The TAB clause allows you to specify in which column in the report a target-item or
by-item is to begin. This clause is an optional part of the LIST statement and must not
be specified in the FIND statement. The syntax of the TAB clause is:
TAB [ number ]
number
is an integer.
The TAB clause specifies which column to tab to before printing an element on a
report. Care must be taken not to overlap elements. If overlap occurs, the last
numbers or characters specified appear on the printed report. Note that TAB never
causes ENFORM to advance to the next line, so you can tab backwards on the current
line.
The TAB clause can precede a target-item or by-item within a LIST statement. If
number is specified, ENFORM tabs to that position before the next target-item or
by-item is printed; if number is not specified, ENFORM begins printing in column one.
The TAB clause can be part of a print list for an AT END statement or clause, an AT
START statement or clause, a FOOTING statement or clause, a SUBFOOTING
statement or clause, a SUBTITLE statement or clause, and the AFTER CHANGE and
BEFORE CHANGE clauses. When number is specified, ENFORM tabs to that position
before the next element is printed on the current line. If number is not specified,
ENFORM assumes column one.
