Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide

REPHEADER

The REPHEADER command defines a report header. Report headers print on the first page of a report, after the page title and before the first detail line. See Chapter 3 for more information.

where:

REPH[EADER]

May be abbreviated REPH. Issuing the REPHEADER command with no parameters causes SQL*Plus to display the current report header setting.

OFF

Turns the report header off, but does not erase its definition. You can turn it back on again with ON.

ON

Turns on printing of report headers.

COL x

Causes any header text following this parameter to print at the specified column position.

S[KIP] x

May be abbreviated to S, and inserts the specified number of line breaks before printing any subsequent footer text.

TAB x

TAB is similar to COL, but moves you the specified number of columns relative to the current position. Negative numbers move you backwards. TAB has nothing whatsoever to do with tab characters.

LE[FT]

May be abbreviated LE, and causes subsequent footer text to be printed beginning at the leftmost column of the current footer line.

CE[NTER]

May be abbreviated CE, and causes subsequent header text to be centered within the current line. The LINESIZE setting controls the line width.

R[IGHT]

May be abbreviated R, and causes subsequent header text to be printed flush right. The LINESIZE setting controls where SQL*Plus thinks the right end of the line is.
