I'm trying to align the column values, but they are of different lengths. I can't just use Print '123' (+1, 9)
and then Print '123456' (+1, 9)
because it'll look something like this:
123456790123456790123456790123456790123456790123456790 <- Ignore this line
123
123456
Notice how the right most numbers aren't aligned with each other. I want the output to be like this:
123456790123456790123456790123456790123456790123456790 <- Ignore this line
123
123456
So I would want to stop printing at a certain index. How would I achieve this using SQR?
I tried Print '123' (+1, 9)
and Print '1234' (+1, 9)
but it gives the wrong results.
I'm not familiar with SQR, but here's a suggestion: as SQR supports the LPAD function (see String functions):
Pads the source_value on the left to a length of length_value using pad_value and returns the result.
Syntax: dst_var = lpad(source_value, length_value, pad_value)
you could apply it to strings you print. For example (once again: note that I don't know SQR, you might need to adjust it):
Print lpad('123', 6, ' ') (+1, 9)
which would make ...123
(each dot represents a space).
Why LPAD to 6 characters in length? Well, because your other string ('123456') is 6 characters long. Change it, if necessary.
