You don't show where any of your variables are set.

You don't show the arguments being presented to your printf command for the four %s format specifiers in your format string operand.

And, you don't specify the ranges of the numbers you're trying to align in your fields. Making several wild guesses, maybe the following will give you a template you can build on to get what you need:
Code:
sep='          =>          '
while gather variable values
do	printf 'THEN ( %s = Hour[%s] = %-8d )%sNOW ( %s = Hour[%s]= %-8d )%sReduced By: %15.6f\n' \
	    "$SEARCHPATTB" "$NTIMEB" "$CALTOTB" "$sep" "$SEARCHPATT" "$NTIMEB" "$CALTOT" "-$RESULT"
done

which should produce aligned output as long as $CALTOT and $CALTOTB expand to values that are in the range -9999999 through 99999999. Note that this produces those two columns left aligned; to right align those columns, change both occurrences of %-8d to %8d.

XmFrame(3X)															       XmFrame(3X)

NAME
XmFrame - The Frame widget class SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Frame.h> DESCRIPTION
Frame is a very simple manager used to enclose a single work area child in a border drawn by Frame. It uses the Manager class resources for border drawing and performs geometry management so that its size always matches its child's outer size plus the Frame's margins and shadow thickness. Frame is most often used to enclose other managers when the application developer desires the manager to have the same border appearance as the primitive widgets. Frame can also be used to enclose primitive widgets that do not support the same type of border drawing. This gives visual consistency when you develop applications using diverse widget sets. Constraint resources are used to designate a child as the Frame title, align its text, and control its vertical alignment in relation to Frame's top shadow. The title appears only at the top of the Frame. If the Frame's parent is a Shell widget, XmNshadowType defaults to XmSHADOW_OUT, and Manager's resource XmNshadowThickness defaults to 1. If the Frame's parent is not a Shell widget, XmNshadowType defaults to XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN, and Manager's resource XmNshadowThickness defaults to 2. Classes Frame inherits behavior and resources from the Core, Composite, Constraint, and XmManager classes. The class pointer is xmFrameWidgetClass. The class name is XmFrame. New Resources The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between words). The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A). XmFrame Resource Set Class: XmCMarginWidth Default: 0 Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCMarginHeight Default: 0 Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmC- ShadowType Default: dynamic Type: unsigned char Access: CSG Specifies the padding space on the left and right sides between Frame's child and Frame's shadow drawing. Specifies the padding space on the top and bottom sides between Frame's child and Frame's shadow drawing. When a title is present, the top margin equals the value specified by this resource plus the distance (if any) that the title extends below the top shadow. Describes the drawing style for Frame. This resource can have the following values: XmSHADOW_IN--draws Frame so that it appears inset. This means that the bottom shadow visuals and top shadow visuals are reversed. XmSHADOW_OUT--draws Frame so that it appears outset. This is the default if Frame's parent is a Shell widget. XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN--draws Frame using a double line giving the effect of a line etched into the window. The thickness of the double line is equal to the value of XmNshadowThickness. This is the default when Frame's parent is not a Shell widget. XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT--draws Frame using a double line giving the effect of a line coming out of the window. The thickness of the double line is equal to the value of XmNshadowThickness. XmFrame Constraint Resource Set Class: XmCChildType Default: XmFRAME_WORKAREA_CHILD Type: unsigned char Access: CSG Class: XmCChildHorizontalAlignment Default: XmALIGN- MENT_BEGINNING Type: unsigned char Access: CSG Class: XmCChildHorizontalSpacing Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmC- ChildVerticalAlignment Default: XmALIGNMENT_CENTER Type: unsigned char Access: CSG Specifies whether a child is a title or work area. Frame supports a single title and/or work area child. The possible values are: XmFRAME_TITLE_CHILD XmFRAME_WORKAREA_CHILD XmFRAME_GENERIC_CHILD The Frame geometry manager ignores any child of type XmFRAME_GENERIC_CHILD. Specifies the alignment of the title. This resource has the following values: XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING XmALIGNMENT_CENTER XmALIGNMENT_END See the description of XmNalignment in the XmLabel(3X) man page for an explanation of these values. Specifies the minimum distance between either edge of the title text and the inner edge of the Frame shadow. Clipping of the title text occurs in order to main- tain this spacing. The default value is the margin width of the Frame. Specifies the vertical alignment of the title text, or the title area in relation to the top shadow of the Frame. XmALIGNMENT_BASELINE_BOTTOM--causes the baseline of the title to align ver- tically with the top shadow of the Frame. In the case of a multi-line title, the baseline of the last line of text aligns verti- cally with the top shadow of the Frame. XmALIGNMENT_BASELINE_TOP--causes the baseline of the first line of the title to align ver- tically with the top shadow of the Frame. XmALIGNMENT_WIDGET_TOP--causes the top edge of the title area to align vertically with the top shadow of the Frame. XmALIGNMENT_CENTER--causes the center of the title area to align vertically with the top shadow of the Frame. XmALIGNMENT_WIDGET_BOTTOM--causes the bottom edge of the title area to align vertically with the top shadow of the Frame. Inherited Resources Frame inherits behavior and resources from the following superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the man page for that superclass. XmManager Resource Set Class: XmCBottomShadowColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG Class: XmCBottomShadowPixmap Default: XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP Type: Pixmap Access: CSG Class: XmCForeground Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C Class: XmCHighlightColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG Class: XmCHighlightPixmap Default: dynamic Type: Pixmap Access: CSG Class: XmCInitialFocus Default: NULL Type: Widget Access: CSG Class: XmCNavigationType Default: XmTAB_GROUP Type: XmNaviga- tionType Access: CSG Class: XmCShadowThickness Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCStringDirection Default: dynamic Type: XmStringDirection Access: CG Class: XmCTopShadowColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG Class: XmCTopShadowPixmap Default: dynamic Type: Pixmap Access: CSG Class: XmCTraversalOn Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG Class: XmCUnitType Default: dynamic Type: unsigned char Access: CSG Class: XmCUserData Default: NULL Type: XtPointer Access: CSG Composite Resource Set Class: XmCReadOnly Default: NULL Type: WidgetList Access: G Class: XmCInsertPosition Default: NULL Type: XtOrderProc Access: CSG Class: XmCReadOnly Default: 0 Type: Cardinal Access: G Core Resource Set Class: XmCAccelerators Default: dynamic Type: XtAccelerators Access: CSG Class: XmCSensitive Default: dynamic Type: Boolean Access: G Class: XmCBackground Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: CSG Class: XmCPixmap Default: XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP Type: Pixmap Access: CSG Class: XmCBorderColor Default: XtDefaultForeground Type: Pixel Access: CSG Class: XmCPixmap Default: XmUNSPECIFIED_PIXMAP Type: Pixmap Access: CSG Class: XmCBorderWidth Default: 0 Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCColormap Default: dynamic Type: Colormap Access: CG Class: XmCDepth Default: dynamic Type: int Access: CG Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C Class: XmCHeight Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCInitialResourcesPersistent Default: True Type: Boolean Access: C Class: XmCMapped- WhenManaged Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG Class: XmCScreen Default: dynamic Type: Screen * Access: CG Class: XmCSensitive Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG Class: XmCTranslations Default: dynamic Type: XtTranslations Access: CSG Class: XmCWidth Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCPosition Default: 0 Type: Position Access: CSG Class: XmCPosition Default: 0 Type: Posi- tion Access: CSG Translations XmFrame inherits translations from XmManager.
