ok not sure I understand what you are asking but here is a output from lsgroup that should be usable for you
lsgroup -c -a id ALL |grep -v "#"
It produces the following
Code:
system:0
staff:1
sys:3
uucp:5
mail:6
security:7
printq:9
ecs:28
nobody:4294967294
usr:99
perf:20
shutdown:21
haemrm:201
dba:219

Now the reflect the complete group name I am not understanding what you want? the first column is the group name the second is the group id.

Now if you want is shown all the time like from a ls command then:
1. check if the max_logname is big enough
Code:
    lsattr -El sys0 -a max_logname
    getconf LOGIN_NAME_MAX

2. if it is not big enough set it (up to 256 max):
Code:
chdev -l sys0 -a max_logname=20 <what you need>

3. now for this to be effective you will have to reboot.
4. once rebooted the all that is needed is a ls -lX (ls -(L) lower case and a uppercase X

---------- Post updated at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:27 PM ----------

Just to add if you want a output format with columns of consistent size then typeset is what you will need and the -R or -L (flush left or right) and the number of characters to show or fill: typeset -R20 Your_Var_Name
then when a value is assigned it will flush (L or R) and fill as needed and then you just display it.

groupadd

groupadd(1M)                                              System Administration Commands                                              groupadd(1M)

NAME

       groupadd - add (create) a new group definition on the system

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/groupadd [ -g gid [-o]] group

DESCRIPTION

       The groupadd command creates a new group definition on the system by adding the appropriate entry to the /etc/group file.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -g gid   Assigns  the  group  id  gid  for  the  new group. This group id must be a non-negative decimal integer below MAXUID as defined in
                /usr/include/sys/param.h. The group ID defaults to the next available (unique) number above the highest number currently assigned.
                For  example,  if  groups   100, 105, and  200 are assigned as groups, the next default group number will be  201. (Group IDs from
                0-99 are reserved by SunOS for future applications.)

       -o       Allows the gid to be duplicated (non-unique).

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       group    A string consisting of characters from the set of lower case alphabetic characters and numeric characters. A warning message  will
                be  written  if  the  string  exceeds MAXGLEN, which is usually set at eight characters. The group field must contain at least one
                character; it accepts lower case or numeric characters or a combination of both, and must not contain a colon  (:) or  NEWLINE.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       2        Invalid command syntax. A usage message for the groupadd command is displayed.

       3        An invalid argument was provided to an option.

       4        The gid is not unique (when  -o option is not used).

       9        The group is not unique.

       10       The  /etc/group file cannot be updated.

FILES

       /etc/group

       /usr/include/userdefs.h

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE         |      ATTRIBUTE VALUE        |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability                 |SUNWcsu                      |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

NOTES

       groupadd only adds a group definition to the local system. If a network name service such as NIS or NIS+ is being used  to  supplement  the
       local  /etc/group  file with additional entries, groupadd cannot change information supplied by the network name service. However, groupadd
       will verify the uniqueness of group name and group ID against the external name service.
