Format options while Redirecting output of sql to a file in shell

In my korn shell - I have a sql with say 6 columns whose output i am redirecting to a file and attaching this file while sending a mail. While all this happens correctly, i face issues in the format of this file.

my intended output is
Code:
Column_1     Column_2     Column_3     Column_4     Column_5     Column_6
abcde             John             Hammer        Club              Cool             Forever
cdfes              Cathy            Hello             Wow             Hot              Obselete

But my outout is like
Code:
Column_1     Column_2     Colu            Column_4     Column_5         Colu
abcde             John             Hammer        Club              Cool             Forever
cdfes              Cathy            Hello             Wow             Hot              Obselete

Note here the "Column_3" was cut down to "colu" and the again the "Column_6" was cut down to Colu.

Can someone please tell me how am i supposed to print the entire heading from my sql alias in my output file too.

Appreciate your help. TIA!

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4? platform::shell::generic shell platform::shell::identify shell platform::shell::platform shell _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell. This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine. While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers. For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software. COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::generic shell This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::platform shell This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell. KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
