With forms there is the ability to use a CLS in an On-After-Start EEP.
Is there anything similar that can be done with reports?

Along with Sub-Reports, Secure PDFs and more, the
R:BASE 7.5 for Windows Report Designer, to be unveiled
at the Fall 2004 R:BASE Developers's Conference, also
includes the following features as Report Actions:
. Before Preview
. After Preview
. Before Generate
. After Generate
http://www.rbase.com/rbg75
The following report action can be used to achieve the
above goal:
Example:
01. CONNECT RRBYW10 (R:BASE 7.5 Sample Database)
02. REPORT CustContInvoices (Sub-Report based on 5 tables)
03. Report Designer | Main Menu | Report | Actions | Before Generate
    -- Custom Embedded EEP
    CLS
    SET VAR vMsg = +
    ((CHAR(009))&'Preparing Report: 
CustContInvoice'+(CHAR(009))+(CHAR(013))+ +
    (CHAR(013)) + +
    (CHAR(009))&'Please Wait ...'+(CHAR(009)))
    PAUSE 3 USING .vMsg +
    CAPTION '  Reports and Sub-Reports' +
    ICON APP +
    OPTION BACK_COLOR WHITE +
    |MESSAGE_COLOR WHITE +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR GREEN
    RETURN

04. Report Designer | Main Menu | Report | Actions | After Generate
    -- Custom Embedded EEP
    CLS
    RETURN
05. To print 5 Table Sub-Report, use the following code:
    PRINT CustContInvoice +
    ARRANGE InvoiceHeader BY TransID ASC, +
    ARRANGE InvoiceDetail BY DetailNum ASC, +
    ARRANGE Employee BY EmpLName ASC, +
    ARRANGE Contact BY ContLName ASC +
    ORDER BY CustID +
    OPTION SCREEN |ZOOMPERCENT 80 |WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED
Imagine the possibilities!
Very Best R:egards,
