Hi Lokesh,
Sometimes though the print program is passing a field having 40 characters to the script, the script might display less than 40 because of the code written in script to display.
Example of the script code:
&KOMVD-VTEXT(20) " this will display only 20 characters
So, in this scenario you need to first check the script and if it is less, then need to change the value from &KOMVD-VTEXT(20) to &KOMVD-VTEXT(40).
Secondly, check in the print program and then move the first Material Description  field to length 40 and then pass the same to your script.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
