Marcos,
You don't need to define the var in report. ie: set a report field as :
padc(m.title,40," ")
and set the length of report field to 40 chars, place as you'd like (in preview mode either define m.title in command window or temporarily quote it).

m.title = "My report 1 title"
report form myreport
