Business BASIC III: Print Using

Business BASIC III: Print Using

The string specification in Print Using takes only as many characters of a
long string as are required to fill its field length; hence, the rest of the
string is ignored.  This example:
 
        A$ = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
        Print Using "3X,10A,3X";A$
 
returns:
           abcdefghij
 
A$ is truncated to 10 characters.  Use the MID$ function to split up a string
into multiple lines.
