I want to design a report where there is a separate page for each day of
data.  There will be  20 columns of time based data with one row for each
hour in the day.

My code builds a cursor with the data to be reported but at this point I
don't have a clue how to:

   - tell the report writer that it needs to start on a record where the
   time portion of the datetime field called End_Stamp is 00:59:59
   - tell the report writer to do exactly 24 lines or to stop when the
   End_Stamp is 23:59:59
   - tell the report writer to shade the even rows to make it easier to
   read 20 columns

Any help?

As others have pointed out you need to make your cursor match the output you want, so in this case I would

Create cursor mycurs (dDate D(8),cHour C(2), ...other fields...)
index on DTOS(dDate) + cHour tag datehour

You can pull out dDate and cHour using TTOD and TTOC of your datetime field. I normally create my cursor
then pull out potential data into another cursor (say tempcur) then

scan   && tempcur
  m.dDate = TTOD(myatetimefield)
  m.cHour = SUBS(TTOC(myatetimefield),13,2)
  .... etc
  select mycurs
  IF SEEK(DTOS(m.dDate) + m.cHour)
     * update fields
  else
     insert into mycurs from memvar
  endif
endscan

then put a group in the report on dDate and set "Group starts on new page".
