Excel o/p in Reports 9i-additional report header for every row

Question

Dear All,
Is there any way to generate an Excel file output from OracleReports9i.Actually I have tried the simple report.
I am able to create a delimited output.But the prob is it contains an additional report header for every row of the report and this is very strange.Its coming like that
Empno     Ename     Job     7566     JONES      MANAGER
Empno     Ename     Job     7902     FORD      ANALYST
I need the Xls o/p like that
Empno     Ename          Job
7566     JONES      MANAGER
7902     FORD      ANALYST
8877 JAMES SALES
my Environment oracle9i developersuite /forms9i/reports9i
I have given     DESFORMAT = DELIMITED
          MODE      = CHARACTER
I am able to generate the reports in html/HTMLCSSIE/HTMLCSS/PDF/RTF
Only delimited is giving problem
What should i do to resolve this issue. Please help me it is very very urgent for me.
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem and this is what I did, works great. You have the total control.
function BeforeReport return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
-- creating a file name
:CP_filename := 'C:\Gap'||to_char(sysdate,'MMDDYYHHMISS')||'.csv';
-- Opening the file in write mode
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'w');
-- writing the column headings into the file
text_io.put_line(fp,'"Platform","Sys#","GapType",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
and then where ever it is suitable, depending on the requirement, write into file by opening it in the append mode.
function R_G_systemplatformFormatTrigge return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
--     srw.message(99,:dname);
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'a');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || :systemplatform || '",');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || to_char(:sysno) || '",');
text_io.put_line(fp,'"' || :CF_gaptype || '",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
This works great. Hope this helps.
