SQL*Plus report: hide accept value in report

Question

HI all,
I have created an SQL Report of an APEX-Application. The output is stored in a HTML file.
All works fine but one think I want to hide in the HTML report.
I try to describe what the problem is.
I prompt the user to put in the application_id of the apex application:
                       accept v_application_Id char prompt 'Appliaction-ID:'
In the HTML file the following output is shown:
Report created on:
25-Jun-2013, 10:06:04
alt 8: where application_id = &&v_application_id
neu 8: where application_id = 680
Workspace
WORKSPACE
APPLICATION_ID
APPLICATION_NAME
ALIAS
OWNER
Q0Q0AUFTRAGSVERWALTUNG
680
Q0Q0AUFTRAGSVERWALTUNG
F680317
Q0Q0AUFTRAGSVERWALTUNG_ADMIN
How can I hide the two lines
alt 8: where application_id = &&v_application_id
neu 8: where application_id = 680
from the report?
I have searched  this forum and toke a look into the documentation but I have nothing found.
Could anyone please help me?

Hi, Ben,
The SQL*Plus command to stop those messages is
SET VERIFY OFF
Put this command anywhere before the first use of a substitution variable, e.g. before the SPOOL command.
Those "OLD" and "NEW" messages will stay suppressed until you either end the SQL*Plus session, or issue a SET VERIFY ON command.
If you use SQL*Plus often, then, when you have a few minutes, look up the SET command in the SQL*Plus manual,
SET System Variable Summary
and read a little about each option.  You probably won't remember everything, but you probably will remember what kinds of things can be controlled by the SET command, and have a better idea of where to start looking in the future when you have a different problem.
