TAB Function Details
 
Syntax
  TAB(column)
 
The argument, column, is a numeric expression that is the column number of
the new print position. If the current print position is already beyond
column, the TAB function moves the print position to that column on the
next line. Column 1 is the leftmost position, and the rightmost position
is the current line width of the output device. If column is greater than
the output width, TAB wraps the output and the print position becomes
1+(column MOD width). If column is less than 1, TAB moves the print
position to column 1.
 
TAB can only be used in PRINT and LPRINT statements.
