T Format Code

Available Format Codes

The T format code specifies the absolute position in the current record.

The syntax is: 

Tn

where

n

is the absolute character position within the record to which the current position should be set (1 ≤ n).

The T format code differs from the TL, TR, and X format codes primarily in that it specifies an absolute position rather than an offset from the current position. For example, 

PRINT, FORMAT = '("First", 20X, "Last", T10, "Middle")'

produces the following output: 

FirstbbbbMiddlebbbbbbbbbbLast

where "b" represents a blank space.
