Please provide me a solltion.
Just an observation: the additional blank char is at position 80, which is the default line width for many programs. Maybe it is just a "line break in disguise" and you could get rid of it by adjusting the "size" of the "virtual paper" you are printing to.

I am not sure which SQL client you are using, in Oracles SQLPLUS this is done with "SET LINESIZE <n>" (line width) and "SET PAGESIZE <n>" (number of lines before page break), IIRC.

I hope this helps.

put, intermixed with formatting commands.  A  formatting  command
is  a  line  containing  the  control character followed by a two
character command name, and possibly one or more arguments.   The
control  character is initially . (dot).  The formatted output is
produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed

negative change from the current value.  Initial values for where

  .ix n   Same as .in but continue filling output on current line.
