Anyway, I spoke with my manager and he explained what he was talking not about reports (which would be really hard to change), but about some program, which I use to generate a file, which then processed by our Production department. So, my task becomes much easier (I hope). I haven't checked it yet, though.

Yes, Dragan, I was thinking in the same direction. Instead of using CutOff variable in Report, I can use this as a field. Still not clear, how to calculate it, but it could be resolvable. What I wanted to achieve (and fortunately it's not needed yet), it's the minimum modification of the existing reports. They are really complicated and though I can change them using "HACK" method, I prefer not to do it...
