SELECT 'PV.LINEITEM:' || partnum || ',' || round(onhand) || ',' || round(qm5) || ',' || round(lsm4) || ',' || ',' || ',' || round(onorder) || ',' || ',' || ',' || binone || ',' || ',' || round(backorderqty) || ',' || ',' || round(onhold) || ',' || ',' || ',' || ',' || ',' || ',' || ',' || round(qtyperjob) || ',' || round(ordermax) AS gmrim FROM slparts WHERE vendor LIKE 'CH%'

        You could select columns and build the string in your application ?

The query does work and I am getting results from the database. There are values for all 'partnum' in the database, however, the query results include blank fields here and there in between the returned records. Why am I receiving blank fields for 'gmrim'???? This absolutely defies logic

Because one of your fields is probably NULL, and NULL || anything stays NULL.

You have probably been misled to believe they are "blanks" because they don't display as "NULL" but as "".
        I set psql to display NULL as NULL.

If these columns can, must, or should not contain NULLs depends on your application... it's for you to chose. Use COALESCE, add NOT NULL constraints, grab the columns and build the string in your application, you chose.
