If it's part of a bunch of reports, then changing the channel might well mess things up. I don't think it will if they're just run sequentially, though.

I don't think that's what you want here. (off-topic - another useful trick for multiple channels is the summary report - okay you really need a BASIC program for this - but I've had a program print several independent reports, saving some data for each and dumping this to a separate channel, which finally gets closed and printed as a separate report. I've seen programmers print the individual reports, then go back and repeat the calculations to print the summary! That or store the data in some complex data structure ...)
