Report Composer uses the AFTER ADVANCING phrase.
There is also a compiler option ADV/NOADV which tells that
this is report file.

Answer / jagan
Ashok, do we have a variable block attribute for a REPORT
file. As far as i have heard there is only FBA for a REPORT
file.

If the program uses the simple file then the statement used
to write into that is "WRITE REC-NAME".
If the program uses the report file then the statement used
to write into that is "GENERATE REC-NAME".
