I don't know "why", but may a suggest a different method of producing reports.

I also used to prepare all the data with SET FILTER, SET RELATION, etc., but now I don't. I find it much simpler, and more convenient, to prepare all the data with one or several SELECT commands.

Just select the data from one table, use a SELECT - SQL command to add records for a second table, add another SELECT - SQL command command to add the third table, etc. Do any sorting at the end. (If you try to do a single big SELECT for all the tables, it may be much slower.)

>use somain orde sono alia somain
>set rela to sono into sosub
>set rela to pcode into party addi
