Hi all,

here in the below code, i don't want select statement. So, my question is how can i replace select statement here..?

SET TERMOUT OFF
COLUMN curdate NEW_VALUE report_date
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'dd-Mon-yyyy') curdate
FROM DUAL;
SET TERMOUT ON /*Mechanism to fetch date*/

ttitle left report_date center "Permission Code report" right "Page" format 999 sql.pno

Output of above code like this:

05-Jun-2007 Permission Code report Page 1

Thanks & regards,
dinesh

He doesn't ask it if you execute your:
SET TERMOUT OFF
COLUMN curdate NEW_VALUE report_date
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'dd-Mon-yyyy') curdate
FROM DUAL;
SET TERMOUT ON
before.

By default the date and the time will appear if you just do a ttitle and do not qualify it (left ,center etc).

ex. (sorry for swedish output)

SQL> ttitle 'date is displayed'
SQL> select 'x' from dual;

Tis Jun 05                                                            sidan    1
                               date is displayed

'
-
x


SQL> ttitle left  'date is not displayed'
SQL>  select 'x' from dual;

date is not displayed
'
-
x



You have to do has Michel suggested if you want exactly the output you wrote in your first post.
