Hi



I'm using dbms_output.put_line to format some output
but I cant seem to find a "simpler" way of printing the
text, etc. at a specific column or location without
adding spaces as I show below:



     dbms_output.put_line('-            Brooklyn, NY 11201 ');




This is similiar to using TAB in BASIC, or PIC in COBOL




Any ideas or alternatives woud be appreciated



Thanks 



George
