Use putFormat, eg.:

ORIGIN '~beta/basiclib/v1.6/betaenv';
INCLUDE '~beta/basiclib/v1.6/formatio';
-- program: Descriptor --
(# tmp: ^text
do
   &text[]->tmp[];
   '%10s %i'->tmp.putFormat (#  do 'Peter'->s; 21->i #);
   tmp[]->putLine;
   &text[]->tmp[];
   '%10s %i'->tmp.putFormat (#  do 'Ole'->s; 13->i #);
   tmp[]->putLine
#)
