You can set tab expansion more efficiently by calling either 
N_CAPSET() or N_QJSET(). Though superseded, N_SPLTABS() has been 
retained in the library to maintain compatibility with earlier 
versions of NetLib. Future versions may not retain N_SPLTABS(), so 
please take this opportunity to begin using the new functions in your 
code.


Syntax

N_SPLTABS( [ <nSpaces> ] )


Parameters

<nSpaces>
Number of spaces for tab expansion. Zero indicates no tab expansion.


Returns

N_SPLTABS() with no arguments returns current tab expansion count.


Description

Specifies the number of spaces that tab characters (I or ASCII 9) will 
be expanded to. Zero indicates no tab expansion.

Note  When output consists of non-printing control characters (such 
as a font description file) N_SPLTABS() should be set to zero.

All documents subsequently spooled from the current station will be 
affected until the setting is changed by another N_SPLTABS(). Documents 
in progress or already on the spool queue are not affected.
