Problem with printf

Printf works fine in my app, with sequence slice to limit the number of 
characters actually printed:

printf(1,"%8s",data_array[rec_no][1..6])  for example.

For reasons other than coding elegance, I need to have the arguments of 
printf read from another array. It works fine for everything except the 
slice specification. The interpreter will not accept 1..6 read into the 
final [  ] via a subscripted array element.
As of now, I am using "if" statements to select between several 
different printf's with different sequence slice specs. Is there a 
better way?
