SIMPLE REPORTS FAILS

Question

Hello,
I´m trying running this simple report on oracle developer:
TTITLE LEFT 'Run date: ' CURRENT_DATE CENTER 'Run by the' SQL.USER  'user'
RIGHT 'Page:' FORMAT 999  SQL.PNO SKIP 2
BTITLE CENTER 'Thanks for running the report' RIGHT 'Page: 'FORMAT 999 SQL.PNO
SET ECHO OFF
SET VERIFY OFF
SET PAGESIZE 100
SET LINESIZE 100
CLEAR COLUMNS
COLUMN product_id HEADING ID FORMAT 99
COLUMN name HEADING 'Product Name' FORMAT A20 WORD_WRAPPED
COLUMN description HEADING Description FORMAT A30 WORD_WRAPPED
COLUMN price HEADING Price FORMAT $99.99
SELECT product_id,name,description,price
FROM products;
CLEAR COLUMNS
TTITLE OFF
BTITLE OFF
And there´s no way to get in the output the TTITLE and the BTITLE, does anybody knows what´s wrong on it?
I already tryed comment the line TTITLE OFF AND BTITLE OFF.
Thank you very much.

If this is a regular report you run, you can create a user defined report. If you want to add formatting, then try the plsql-dbms_output report display style in the Reports tab.
e.g.
1. Create a new user defined report
2. set the display style to plsql-dbms_output
3. enter the report, e.g.
DECLARE
CURSOR jobs IS
SELECT last_name, job_id
FROM employees
WHERE manager_id > 120
ORDER BY job_id;
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line ('<H1> The Main PL/SQL Report</H1>');
dbms_output.put_line ('<p> Designed to Illustrate a PL/SQL Report</p>');
dbms_output.put_line ('<H3> Ceated by Sue Harper</H3>');
dbms_output.put_line ('<H5> Create in November 2008</H5>');
dbms_output.put_line ('=============================');
FOR item IN jobs
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('<p> <b>Name</b> = '
|| item.last_name || '<b> Job</b> = ' || item.job_id || ' </p>');
END LOOP;
END;
I realize that this does not help any existing reports and scripts you have that contain SQl and SQL*Plus commands, but I give it by way of an alternative.
