Ksh. Integer value splitted into two parts

Question

Hi ,
I have code like below in my Ksh script, and getting the sample_id value as '2003 15588' instead of '200315588'
I'm using this sample_id to run an oracle report. Any help on why the value is getting splitted into two parts like 2003 15588.
if (( CHECKS == 0 )) || (( CHECKS == 1 ))
then
V_SAMPLE_ID=$( $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S / <<EOF
whenever sqlerror exit 1 rollback;
whenever oserror exit 1 rollback;
--Set up pagesize parameters.
set newpage 0;
set space 0;
set echo off;
set pagesize 0;
set heading off;
set verify off;
set feedback off;
set trimspool off;
set termout on;
set colsep "";
set linesize 5;
select substr(SAMPLE_ID,1,15) from sample_m
where NAME=$MFGLBL and TVALUE=$C_SAMPLE;
exit;
EOF
v_count=$?
print "V_SAMPLE_ID: $V_SAMPLE_ID" >> $LOG_FILE
fi
Pls help . thanks.

Here the actual outputs,
from SqlPlus,
SQL> select substr(SAMPLE_ID,1,15) from nais_sample_attributes where NAME='MFG LABEL NUMBER' and te
xt_value ='9300141751';
SUBSTR(SAMPLE_I
200315588
used the same query in the script , only difference is name and text_value are
passing as variables.
from script log file,
/app/oracle/product/dev6i/bin/rwrun60 /app//reports/105.rep /@DB18 BATCH=YES DESTYPE=PRINTER DESNAME=nullprinter DESFORMAT=PDF P_SAMPLE_ID=20031 5588
in the script , when i tried ,
substr(SAMPLE_ID,1,5 ) it returns 20031 and
substr(SAMPLE_ID,1,6) it returns 20031 5.
