Remarks in Scripts with Ttitle and Btitle
<![CDATA[
The TTITLE (top title) and BTITLE (bottom title) commands have this syntax:
TTITLE option text OFF/ON
where option refers to the placement of the title:
COLUMN n (start in some column, n)
SKIP m (skip m blank lines)
TAB x (tab x positions)
LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT (default is LEFT)
The same holds for BTITLE.
In addition, page numbers may be added with the extension:
option text format 999 sql.pno
SQL>
SQL> set pagesize 22
SQL> set linesize 80
SQL>
SQL> ttitle left 'SQL*Plus report' -
> right 'Page: ' format 99 SQL.PNO -
> skip center 'OVERVIEW' -
> skip center 'employees department 30' -
> skip 2
