I ran into this some months back... it's actually quite easy to do when  you 
realise the returned object from a Z SQL Method is _not_ just a list...  
check the ZQR for it's members...

Here is what I use to get the field names:

<dtml-call 
"REQUEST.set('fieldList',sql.GetDocketDetails(DocketNo=1).names())">
