hi,

i designed report with following query
select empno,fname from emp and its fine.
i changed the query to
select empno,substr(fname,1,3) fname from emp;

in result column names all in my report changed to
empno1 ,fname1 instead of empno,fname

every time i am channging query its keep changing the name
to empno2,empno3......and so.

Yes, it is annoying ... and I don't have a smart way to solve it.

However, I can tell you what I do: in the first step, I rename (i.e. create column aliases), such as

select empno my_empno, substr(fname,1,3) my_fname from emp

which eliminates "empno1" and "fname1" labels. Next step is to name them as they should be named:

select empno, substr(fname,1,3) fname from emp

Sorry for not being able to help you any better.
