     That's exactly how to do it.  It works perfectly.

Let me preface this by saying that I have never tried this before.  We know
that when using DECLARE-REPORT, by default it names additional reports with the
extension of L01, L02, etc.  On the other hand, the command NEW-REPORT allows
you to define your own filename.  Now what I am thinking is if we use these
together, we might be able to name the multiple reports whatever we want.
According to the SQR manual, NEW-REPORT affects only the "current" report, so
if right at the beginning of your SQR, you go through each of your multiple
reports  (USE-REPORT) and issue a NEW-REPORT (using the filename that YOU
want), no .Lxx files should be created since the page would be blank.

If you try this, let me know if it works.
