I want it to start from the same position above and below the end of "alp" string, but, in the above way, position of subscript is after the superscript (obvious). I know this is a naive question, but it will helpful if there is a way out.

Hi Krishnakumar,

One approach is to use the formatting commands !S and !R (save and restore a position).

xyouts,350,45.0,'!4a = '+alp+'!6!S!E' +alphigh+ '!R!I'+alplow

For more examples, see: http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/Formatting_Command_Exam p.html
