I don't know what is your other application but here's a scenario, that if applicable, might be better.

Do you SQL as is. Then, from your other application, use the IMPORT feature to import directly from the table your SQL has created.

Or, if this is not possible, you may want to try doing the same but to add an additional step which will created a secondary text file which will hold the field headers and the current TXT just created. For that, you may use the low level file functions to create a new file, create the first lines as the header line and copy the TXT file into that one.
