The file is successfully generated and received but the content is not aligned properly.
Please describe what you see, mentioning what program you are using to view the file. If it is the "stairs" effect it will almost certainly be due to the line terminator.

This happens when you send a unix format text file to a MSDOS platform.
In unix the line terminator is just a linefeed character. This is conventionally represented as "$" or "\n" in unix.
In MSDOS the line terminator is two characters: carriage-return then linefeed.
You will probably need to convert the file to MSDOS format before using "uuencode".

We need to know what Operating System and version you have.
Where supplied, the program is variously called "ux2dos" or "unix2dos". Otherwise the conversion can be achieved with "awk". In your case you could presumably handle the whole conversion (including the CSV bit) in SQL.
