Hm, yes.

proc padString(s string, l smallint) string
   if s.size() > l then
	return(s.SubStr(1,l)
   else
     return(s+fill(" ",l-s.size() ) )
   endIf
endProc

var q query
	 TCtmp TCursor
endVar;
First get your data:q = query

     :db:xyz.db | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
                | Check | Check | Check |

endQuery
q.ExecuteQBE(TCtmp)

; now put it into list
myList.list.list.selection = TCtmp.nRecords()
scan TCtmp:

    myList.list.list.selection = TCtmp.recNo()
    myList.list.list.value =  padString(TCtmp."Col1",11) + "| "
                             +padString(TCtmp."Col2",7) + "| "
                             +padString(TCtmp."Col3",8)
endScan
