Does Unidata have a SORT.LABEL/LIST.LABEL command?   Duplicates how you'd want 
a label to print, but does support such multiple columns.

01 LIST.LABEL CUST NAME ADDR1 ADDR2 CSZ
COUNT, ROWS, SKIP, INDENT, SIZE, SPACE {,C} ?2,5,1,10,25,1
Row 1 header?CUSTNO
Row 2 header?NAME
Row 3 header?ADDR1
Row 4 header?ADDR2
Row 5 header?CSZ

CUSTNO  000001                                    000002
NAME       JONES                                   SMITH
ADDR1      100 MAIN STREET              200 MAIN STREET
ADDR2      SUITE 100                            SUITE 200
CSZ            ADAMSVILLE, NY 10001  BETELGUISE, CA 19999

change the count to the number of columns you want.   usually do 2-4.
Warning the command uses the formula
((SIZE+INDENT) * COUNT ) which must be smaller then your CURRENT-PAGE-COUNT.    
If not, the job won't run/start.

Have fun.
