Some possible approaches:
1. Just before you run the report, SET SECONDS OFF. Then, just after running, SET SECONDS ON (or to whatever the value was before the report was run)
2. Create a UDF, something like MyTTOC(), and use that as your expression:

FUNCTION MyTTOC
LOCAL lcSetSeconds, lcRetVal

m.lcSetSeconds = SET( "SECONDS" )
SET SECONDS OFF
m.lcRetVal = TTOC( DATETIME() )
SET SECONDS ( m.lcSetSeconds )

RETURN m.lcRetVal
ENDFUNC

3. Look at report PEMs and put appropriate SET SECONDS calls at the beginning and end (maybe Report DataEnvironment?)
4. This is an ugly hack, but if useable PEMs aren't available you could put dummy non-printing fields at the report top and bottom and in the expression call a UDF to SET SECONDS for you

In the past I've favoured technique #2.
