What I'm wondering as a higher-level question is: how important are reports that are so volatile that they are invalid between the select and the print? Certainly they're even more invalid between printing and the time someone reads them. Another approach might be to do a COPY or REFORMAT of selected data into a work file and then report on that. With COPY you can use your existing dicts, and with REFORMAT you copy less data ... trade offs. If nothing else, your bottom line numbers would be consistent, if you are even using totals.
