TTITLE

Use the TTITLE command to define page titles for a report. Chapter 3 discusses TTITLE, and has several examples. Also see the BTITLE command. TTITLE and BTITLE work the same way.

TTI[TLE] [OFF|ON]|
         [COL x|
         S[KIP] x|
         TAB x|
         LE[FT]|
         CE[NTER]|
         R[IGHT]|
         BOLD|
         FOR[MAT] format_spec|
         text|
         variable...]

TTI[TLE]

May be abbreviated TTI. Issuing the TTITLE command with no parameters causes SQL*Plus to display the current top title setting.

OFF

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

ON

Turns on printing of page titles. The default title, if you do not specify another, will be the current date, the page number, and all or part of the SELECT statement.

COL x

Causes any title 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 title text.

LE[FT]

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

CE[NTER]

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

R[IGHT]

May be abbreviated R, and causes subsequent title text to be printed flush ...
