W Vertical tabs

Vertical tabs have the same kinds of uses that horizontal tabs do - they just work in the other direction. Horizontal tabs allow you to reach a specific column on the page no matter where you start from. Vertical tabs are the same. If you have a vertical tab set at line 20, a vertical tab (or <VT >) will move you to line 20 whether you start from line 5 or line 19.

The vertical tab is not set at the power-on default. If you send a CHR$(ll), which is the ASCII code for <VT > , before we have set up tabs advance the paper one line. Enter this program to see how this works.

40LPRINT CHR$(ll);"FIRST TAB."

50 LPRINT CHR$(ll);"SECOND TAB."

60LPRINT CHR$(ll);"THIRD TAB."

70 LPRINT CHR$(ll);"FOURTH TAB."

Now, let’s set some vertical tabs of our own. Add these lines to the program:

20LPRINT CHR$(27>;"B";CHR$(lo);CHR$(20);

30LPRINT CHR$(4O);CHR$(5O);CHR$(O);

(ESC)“B” is the command to set vertical tabs. Like the horizontal tab setting command, tab positions must be defined in ascending order. Our example sets vertical tabs at lines 10, 20, 40 and 50. Then the CHR$(ll) in each of the following lines advances the paper to the next vertical tab. The printout is shown below.
