The SPC function is used in [PRINT](PRINT) and [LPRINT](LPRINT) statements to print or output a number of space characters.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
> **SPC(count%)**
|
|
|
|
## Parameter(s)
|
|
|
|
* *count* designates the number of column spaces to move the cursor in a [PRINT](PRINT) statement.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
* When used in a [PRINT](PRINT) statement,
|
|
* count% is the number of space characters to print, overwriting existing characters.
|
|
* If count% is greater than the number of columns left in the current row, remaining space characters are printed on the next row.
|
|
* When used in a [PRINT (file statement)](PRINT-(file-statement)) statement,
|
|
* count% is the number of space characters to output.
|
|
* If count% is less than or equal to zero, the function has no effect.
