Answer 1

This is how tab concept work in SAPscript or in Smartform.
Go to your paragraph format and click on tabs.
Now define all your tab scpaces here.. Since you have 5 variable your can define either 5 or 4 tab spaces, for your undertanding I will define 5 tab spaces, let us assume our paragraph format is AS
Tabspaces: for paragraph AS
Tab Position        Alignment
0.2   CM             LEFT
1.2    CM             LEFT
3.7    CM             LEFT
5.5    CM             LEFT
6.5    CM             LEFT
Now inside your window call you paragraph format with tab spaces with all your variables as shown below
AS ,, &variable1& ,, &variable2& ,, &variable3& ,, &variable4&,, variable 5&
In above ,, --> represents tab spaces
since, before variable 1 we have given a tab space as shown above it will print at 0.2 CM position from window start and second variable will print from 1.2 cm from start of window and 3rd variable will print at 3,7 CM from start of window and so on...
