you're probably using a proportional font and taking an entirely wrong approach to output in SAPScript. Define specific paragraph formats, set your font AND set tabs in the correct position. It's impossible to get spacing/alignment correct using counted spaces.... use tabs always to left, right and decimal align SAPScript output.

Then you can do output like

ZA Name:,,&NAME&

ZA Account:,,&account_no&

etc....and your output will be perfectly aligned.
