Here is how I do. I have a specialized environment class for reports that handles these things. Specifically it does the following adjustments:
SET DELETED ON
SET TALK OFF
SET SAFETY ON
SET POINT TO ","
SET SEPARATOR TO "."
SET DATE FRENCH
SET CURRENCY TO "F"
SET CURRENCY RIGHT
SET CENTURY ON

I also use a report specific Data Environment.
