INPUT TAB(n);
« Thread started on: Mar 13^th, 2017, 3:13pm »

I noticed by chance that TAB(n) works with INPUT on LBB (but not on LB)

INPUT TAB(n); "prompt"; var($)

Code:

INPUT TAB(20); "<ENTER/RETURN> TO terminate... "; enter$
END

That's an accident, rather than 'by design', probably because BBC BASIC also accepts TAB() in an INPUT statement. I can't guarantee, therefore, that it will always be the case but there is no reason to expect that any future changes to LBB will stop it working.
