Instead of a print, use a printf command. It allows you to specifiy a mask, then the data to print. for example


printf("%-30s", "MY NAME");

will right justify the value in the column. If you are a C programmer, it follows that printing convention. I suggest looking up the online (free and in pdf) version of "Effective awk programming" by Arnold Robbins for more information.
