1. You did not use the code sample provided
2. You did not apply the change Don Cragun mentioned.

Apply/Use either of it to get what you want.

Thanks but that is not working...

Code:
[root@testserver httpd]# ls -md */ */*/

ls: cannot access */*/: No such file or directory
buckets/, build/, include/, os/, server/, support/

Code:
[root@testserver httpd]# ls -m

buckets, build, include, os, output.txt, server, support

I Tried below but it is not giving me proper output.

Code:
[root@testserver httpd]# ls -mRL
.:
buckets, build, include, os, output.txt, server, support

./buckets:
apr_bucasdfsadfa_fasdfasfaool.lo, apr_buckets_simpleapr_buckets_simple.lo, apr_buckets_socketapr_buckets.lo, apr_buowekrfwqereqjncckets_reqwer.lo

./build:

Why don't you adopt Don Cragun's proposal and adapt your own one liner:
Code:
for dir in */; do printf "%s, " "$dir"; COLUMNS=1000000 ls -m "$dir"; done
