Formatting in pl/sql

i was wondering how u use sql plus report formatting commands (TTITLE, COLUMN etc...) inside a pl/sql script.

E.G. creating a credit card like statement using pl/sql to get all the information and using sql plus to format the results.

is this actually possible, or should i just use either pl/sql or sql plus

cheers, waz.

U could use htp.p() statements to write the output to a web-viewable HTML document.

You can only use the environment command within a pl/sql to set your current SQL*Plus environment. You cannot use other command like 'TTITLE' or 'COLUMN' commands (although you can write it in your PL/SQL script but it doen not format your output).
You can make your own format, example as follows:

SQL>create table emp_t as select deptno,empno,ename,sal from emp;
SQL>set serveroutput on
SQL> DECLARE
v_emp emp_t%rowtype;
TB constant varchar2(1):=CHR(9); -- equal to TAB
CURSOR c_emp is
select deptno,empno,ename,sal
from emp_t
order by deptno;
BEGIN
OPEN c_emp;
dbms_output.put_line('Dept'||TB||'Emp'||TB||rpad('Employee',15,' ')||TB||' Salary');
dbms_output.put_line('No.'||TB||'No.'||TB||rpad('Name',15,' '));
dbms_output.put_line(rpad('-',42,'-'));
LOOP
FETCH c_emp INTO v_emp;
exit when c_emp%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(v_emp.deptno||TB||
v_emp.empno ||TB||
rpad(v_emp.ename,15,' ') ||TB||
to_char(v_emp.sal,'$999,999'));
END LOOP;
END;
/
