REPFOOTER

The REPFOOTER command defines a report footer. Report footers print on the last page of a report, after the last detail line and before the bottom title. See Chapter 3 for more information.

where:

REPF[OOTER]

May be abbreviated REPF. Issuing the REPFOOTER command with no parameters causes SQL*Plus to display the current report footer setting.

OFF

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

ON

Turns on printing of report footers.

COL x

Causes any footer 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 footer text to be centered within the current line. The LINESIZE setting controls the line width.

R[IGHT]

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