Using Tabs in Sapscript

Question

Hi developers,
I am new at Sapscript and I'm having a lot of troubles trying to understand how to use tabs ',,'.
I set the position for tabs but I really don't understand how it works... (My aim is to make the column of a table aligned).
Wich is the relation between what I wrote into this position and what i display?
Does this: '',,&field_name1&,,&field_name2&,," write field_name1 in the first position and field_name2 in the second one? Do I have to use different notation? (like repeating ,, twice ',,,,' or three times ',,,,,,' for second and third position and so on...)
...As you understand I'm really confused!!
Thanks,
Simone

Hi,
Regarding your query:-
Does this: '',,&field_name1&,,&field_name2&,," write field_name1 in the first position and field_name2 in the second one.
You are absolutely right.
Now suppose you want to position the first field_name1 in the second tab position ( defined in the corresponding paragraph ) then you will use ,,,,&field_name1& If you want to position at say 5th tab posistion then it should be ,,,,,,,,,,(total 10,)&field_name1& etc etc
As mentioned by the previous post, just remember ,, means 1 tab position. Thus if you count total no of ,, appearing before the field, that will give you the tab position where that particular field is being positioned.
I hope this helps,
