Hi ericc111

Try this:

	Program TAB
	character*1 tab
	tab = char(11)
	write(*,'(1x,5a)') 'Something',tab,'something',tab,'something'
	end

Horizontal Tab is char(9). char(11) is vertical tab.

Hi xwb

Thank you for the correction. I did not remember this, so I looked it up, but clearly "misread" VT for HT. This only shows that one should check the program before submitting it, although it is short or simple !

No probs gullipe. I did the same thing when I was in Uni (during my punched card days). I used char(11) and got a lot of blank lines in between the numbers. Got a pretty thick printout: about half an inch tick of numbers running across the page followed by 6 blank lines. Some things, you never forget.
