Specify column headings using the HEADING clause of the COLUMN command:
COLUMN employee_name HEADING "Employee Name"
Either single or double quotes may be used to enclose the heading text.
To specify a multiline heading, use the vertical bar, or pipe,
character (|) to specify the location of the line
break. For example:
COLUMN employee_name HEADING "Employee|Name"
Headings of text columns are aligned to the left. Headings of numeric columns are aligned to the right. Use the JUSTIFY clause to alter that behavior:
COLUMN employee_name HEADING "Employee|Name" - JUSTIFY RIGHT COLUMN employee_name HEADING "Employee|Name" - JUSTIFY CENTER
Use SET HEADSEP to change the line-break character to something other than a vertical bar. Use SET UNDERLINE to change the underline character to something other than a hyphen.
