I would like the long string to be indented by, say 10 characters. I can indent the first line, by adding a space(10). But the rest of the string go to the 1st column,

Not tested, but something like this may work:
Set Margin to 10
Set Printer to File lcYourFileName
List Memory Like lcYourString to Printer Noconsole
To set the length of each line, you can try Set Memowidth.

If this doesn't work, you can try to redirect the string to a file using ?, and set the "not for new design" values of _WRAP, _RMARGIN and _LMARGIN.
