output formatting in awk

I can't figure out how to format the individual output fields of an
array in the following short awk script:

( NR < 8 ) || ( $7 < 6 ) || ( $11 < 0.0 ) {
next
}
s7 && ( $7 != s7 ) {
V[++n] = FILENAME OFS $7 OFS c10 OFS V11 OFS $11
} {
s7 = $7; c10 = $10; V11 = $11
} END {
for ( i = 1; i <= n; i++ ) print V[i]
}

using the printf() function...  The first field is clearly a string,
the others are variously formatted numbers.

It's not clear what you're asking for. Provide some small sample input and t
he
expected output for that input.

Store them formatted here:

V[++n] = sprintf( ... )

Or store each value individually

V[++n,1] = FILENAME
V[n, 2] = $7
V[n, 3] = c10

...

and format them in END
