I am new to Oracle reports. I have a report with multiple report blocks. How do I suppress the report block and it's headings if there are no records for that report block?
 
A good trick is to created a dummy group:
- Modify your select statement adding a new column with a constant e.g. 1 AS "dummy"
- Make a parent group containing only "dummy" (other columns in child group)
- Create a repeating frame covering your existing repeating frame with the source of the dummy group
- Place headers inside this frame
