In the tab position we can declare many TAB position, if we declare Number -1 Tab Position -17.00 CM Alignment - SIGN

(,,) means you can seperate your form into different as you set in TAB,

if you set 17cm, the first field should be on the left of the window, after your (,,)

it should be at just the left of your form 17cm, try it .

Hi,

If you give the First tab position as 14 & 2nd Tab position as 17 c.m., it mean the first printing text starts at 14 C.M. and 2nd text starts from 3C.M.(17-14) next to 1st Tab Position (14c.m), i.e., the difference betn 1st Tab & 2nd Tab will 3 c.m.

NOTE: Always any tab position starts from Origin not from the previous tab position.

U dont need to give 2 couple of comma's for 2nd tab position.

Eg:

If you want the Text2 at 2nd tab position, u have to print like below:

P1 ,,text1,,text2

If you want the Text1 at 2nd tab position, print like below:

P1 ,,,,text1

Hope its clear!!

Rgds,
