When I execute the following script, the first page is blank, except for "no rows selected" at the top. The second page then kicks off with the text "REPORT 2", and the selected records for the 2nd script

So.....how do you get the title to show even if there are no rows returned?

SPOOL H:/LUCAS.TXT
SET PAGESIZE 60
SET LINESIZE 110
SET NEWPAGE 0
COLUMN NAME FORMAT A15

TTITLE LEFT 'REPORT 1' SKIP 1-
LEFT 'PAGE:' -
FORMAT 999 SQL.PNO SKIP 2
SELECT EMPLID,PAYGROUP,FILE_NBR
FROM PS_EMPLOYEES
WHERE JOBCODE = '3001';

TTITLE LEFT 'REPORT 2' SKIP 1-
LEFT 'PAGE:' -
FORMAT 999 SQL.PNO SKIP 2
SELECT A.EMPLID,SUBSTR(A.NAME,1,15) AS NAME,A.JOBCODE,A.PAYGROUP
FROM PS_EMPLOYEES A;
SPOOL OFF

Try this?
Table Dept has no records.
Table Emp has records.
