Thank You, Thomas, but I already have those settings. Sorry Steve, I know You ment well...

There's something weird in this. I created a quick-and-dirty version of my report which reads EMP and DEPT tables and managed to get it to behave equally.

If anyone wishes to test this in his/hers own environment and see what is happening, here it is:

set pages 58
set newpage 0
set lines 80
set verify OFF
set term ON
set feedback off
set echo OFF
set space 1
set head OFF
SET wrap off
tti OFF

col departure      noprint new_value h_departure
col company       noprint new_value h_company
col   CurrDate       noprint new_value h_CurrDate
col   mencount       noprint new_value h_mencount  format 999
col   womencount     noprint new_value h_womencount format 999
col   allcount       noprint new_value h_allcount   format 999

col passname       for a38 hea 'NAME'

SELECT to_char(sysdate,'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi') CurrDate,
        'ACME INC.' COMPANY,
        'DEP' departure,
        10 MENCOUNT,
        10 WOMENCOUNT,
        20 ALLCOUNT
  FROM
        DEPT
  WHERE
        ROWNUM = 1 ;

spool TESTREP.LST

tti left h_company -

        col     32 'TEST LIST' col 76 sql.pno format 999  -
        skip 'TESTREP.sql' col 32 h_CurrDate -
        skip 2 -
        left h_departure -
        skip 2 'Count:' h_MENCOUNT ' men,' h_womencount ' women, total of '
h_allcount skip 2
        ;

set head ON

SELECT ENAME PASSNAME FROM EMP; spool OFF
tti OFF
