len of field

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Alex suggested:  

  put char len(tVar)+1 to 14 of "              " after tVar

Clever, Alex!

I was looking for a phraseology to do just this thing - thanks.

It probably is preferable. If it's not, use

   put char len(tVar)+1 to 14 of "              " after tVar

(make sure you have at least 14 spaces - more doesn't hurt
 you could use "... to -1" - but "... to 14" makes it more 
self-documenting :-)
