You cannot use printf in that manner.  From the docs:

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?id=230

"Note 2: as of now only numbers and arrays can now be printed. For
arrays 'selected value' is printed." 

It looks like you won't be able to use format specifiers to create
your table layout.  You could use string functions (strlen, strleft)
and string concatenation to manually format your output.

Maybe someone else has a more elegant solution?
