This sounds more like a report generated by a program, and not by the command line. If it were from the command line, the right side digit would have wrapped to the next line (most likely).
Sounds more like there is a "R2#8" mask in the basic program that will need to be changed to a "R2#9", but the column header will need to be given 9 places, and if there is a total column display that too will need to be increased, unless they are already 9 places. Given there is only 8 digit allotted, and no commas, I'd guess space was a commodity on this report, and possibly there is no room to expand the 8 to 9 places. Some data may need to be dropped or others shortened by 1 place to make the room.
