Hi Jeff...no, but this does...
local lcAlias
lcAlias = alias()

if m_report = "closerpt"
set database to qc
create sql view qc_view as select * from qc_table where empty(dateclosed)
use qc_view
count
if _tally = 0
if !empty(lcAlias)
select (lcAlias)
endif
return
endif
report form &m_report preview
if !empty(lcAlias)
select (lcAlias)
endif
return
endif
if !empty(lcAlias)
select (lcAlias)
endif
report form &m_report preview

thanks..rob
