I am generating the o/p as:

  BLANSWER      112747     112747
   TBLQSTN         983        692
 INITIATIVE         35         35
      PAIGN       3122       3538
 IGNCONTACT      90136      93534
   IGNGROUP         27         27
   AIGNSTEP      16899      20437
   AIGNTYPE        158        158
   LEADREAS         27         27
    MMACTVY      22577      22626

Actually the columns are right aligned, but I need left aligned.
At present I am using:

awk '{printf "%15s %10d %10d\n",$4, $3, $5}' >> $output

Thanks!
