do you mean an sql query, or a report generated by an oracle report..?

if that is an sql, you can do it by using

set heading off;

incase of oracle reports, you have to edit the  Layout Model

It is oracle report as clear in my question , and not an SQL query ,     But plz explain more about how to adjust the layout model in expand explanation please
Ok.. here you go..

Am giving you the steps of oracle reports 6i..

check out the attached document for the screenshots..

here is the summary of the steps

Considering a simple emp table report

1. Open the report in preview mode

2.click on the header and select the header frame only

3.do a right click and open up the property pallette of header section

4. Click on Format Trigger option in Advanced Layout Section
and change the boolean variable value to FALSE


Mine had code like this..

function M_G_EMPNO_HDRFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
 
  return (TRUE);-- Change the TRUE to FALSE
end;
sorry for delay , but i lost the internet connection in my office
anyhow , i tried , but
3.do a right click and open up the property pallette of header section

when i open property pallete , blank page opened , nothing else
2.click on the header and select the header frame only

have you followed steps in correct manner..

Else give the screenshot of your object navigator with collapsed menus..
sorry waseem
i still have no internet in the office
i'm typing now from my home
i will try to have a flash memory to copy screenshot as per your request
you need layout model also , or just object navigator?
wasim
sorry just i got internet connection
here is a snapshot of the report preview
where is the header frame ?

ok.. show me the object navigator with all menus expanded/collapsed..!!
click on M_13 object in the body section,, you haven't collapsed it.. show me that also
also besides the object M_13.. as per your layout.. i can't see any header.. which one do you want to remove in actual?

if you can some me some live preview with garbage/junk data it would be easy to understand..
sorry , i attached different report which has no header page
here are the correct one

when i changed the code of M_13 , the first page still displayed , but the detials of the report disappeared
what did you change...!!, did you found this only in M_13 or is it present in R_2 also,.

I mentioned one of them could do the work.. which one am also not sure.. post the code present there..!!
i changed only m_13
function M_13FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
  
  return (false);
end;

Open in new window


and here is the code of r_2  ( i didn't touch it )

function R_2FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
  if nvl(:prn_flg,0) = 0 then  
     return (TRUE);
  elsif nvl(:prn_flg,0) = 1 then
      if nvl(:op_deb,0) = 0 and nvl(:op_cr,0) = 0 and nvl(:tr_deb,0) = 0 and nvl(:tr_cr,0) = 0 then
         return(false);
      else
         return(true);
      end if;
  end if;

  return (TRUE);
end;

Open in new window

could you show me the report output before and after the change..!!!

the code looks fine. it should return FALSE
actually , i did one thing
i delete all items in the first page
then it ok now
it hide the first page , and directly show the second page
ok.. you got  what you want??

.. but thats the thing you have to do.. just have to edit the trigger,. so that the boolean value returns false.. in your header section..

in case your header has more than one entity, you have to do this to every entity..

if you still face any issues, pls post the screenshot for a better clarity..
Ok , but regarding R13 , it is body section and not header section , should adjust it ?
yeah.. its fine.. i think you have designed the header in the body form in layout editor.. thats why i had asked you for a sample..!!

if you get it then its fine...!!
