Hi,
  Are you using 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' for displaying the header?
If yes, then I think it is not possible. Instead, use the events table to achieve it.
Use the 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET' FM to get all possible events and then modify
the events internal table to specify the form name to handle top-of-page event.
eg.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET'
   EXPORTING
     I_LIST_TYPE           = 0
   IMPORTING
     ET_EVENTS             = V_EVENTS
*  EXCEPTIONS
*    LIST_TYPE_WRONG       = 1
*    OTHERS                = 2
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
READ TABLE V_EVENTS INTO WA_EVENT WITH KEY NAME = 'TOP_OF_PAGE'.
  IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    WA_EVENT-FORM = 'TOP_OF_PAGE'.
    MODIFY V_EVENTS FROM WA_EVENT TRANSPORTING FORM WHERE NAME =
WA_EVENT-FORM.
  ENDIF.
FORM TOP_OF_PAGE.
* Use write statements to display the header data.
ENDFORM.
In write statement use '/' to go to new line. So to insert an empty line you can use something like
write : 'some text' / / 'some text' .
Hope this helps.
