Ruben,

I would recomend that you use queries with cursors instead. Something like

SELECT ... ;
  FROM MAIN_TABLE ;
  WHERE < Condisions here > ;
  INTO CURSOR tempfile READWRITE

  REPORT FORM . . . .

  USE IN tempfile 

Most likely you can do all the data preparation in the query itself so you wouldn't need REPLACE ALL FOR.
