My BASIC Notes

TYPE: String Function
FORMAT: SPC (<numeric>)

Action: The SPC function is used to control the formatting of data, as either an output to the screen or into a logical file. The number of SPaCes given by the <numeric> argument are printed, starting at the first available position. For screen or tape files the value of the argument is in the range of 0 to 255 and for disk files up to 254. For printer files, an automatic carriage-return and line-feed will be performed by the printer if a SPaCe is printed in the last character position of a line. No SPaCes are printed on the following line.

EXAMPLE of SPC Function:

10 PRINT"RIGHT "; "HERE &";
20 PRINT SPC(5)"OVER" SPC(14)"THERE"
RUN

RIGHT HERE &-----OVER--------------THERE (- = Space)
