You say it works fine, but I don't believe you.
Please add braces:

printf(1,"%8s",{data_array[rec_no][1..6]})

I know it looks strange, but in Euphoria
it logically has to work this way. You have one %,
so you should supply a sequence of
length 1 (at the top-level), not 6, as the third argument.
Otherwise only the first character of 6 will be printed.

Everyone (including myself) falls into this trap
sooner or later.
