>>>Oh ... now I see what you want. I know it's too late now, but for future reference ... If the variables are similar in their setup and you're gutsy, you could hack the FRX file. Just add one variable and then USE the reportname.frx file and look for the records with objtype = 18 ... these are the variables. You could SCATTER MEMVAR and then APPEND BLANK/GATHER MEMVAR as many times as you need. Then change the necessary information, including the UNIQUEID field.

It works!!!!!! Though I didn't update Timestamp correctly (do you know, BTW, how to update it)? I use sys(2015) for UniqueID.

Thanks. Without your support I would hesitate to try :)
