You don't understand. The creating Report Layouts is a feature of our application. From VFP application we allow people to create their layouts using MODIFY REPORT in run-time. Certain things are not available in run-time for that.

We need to be able to achieve the goal using MODIFY REPORT in run-time from the application.

As I said, for this particular report we were lucky of being able to put the info in Group Footer.
