SQL*PLUS Format Question

Hi,

 I'm using a sqlplus script that will dump the contents of a table into an ASCII Flatfile. Everything works fine, except that the first column does NOT start at position one, but rather position 2. I tried several ways to resolve this, but nothing seemed to work. When I tried ltrim, it forced the column in position 1, but put a lot of spaces between column 1 and column2. My first column is a number column. Is there any way to get the SQL*Plus to start the output at position 1?

Thanks,
