Vincent,
It's not a bug or at least not considered as a bug. It's a known issue that if you do a replace in another work area and at EOF() in current work area then replace wouldn't take place. In your case you're adding a new record and replacing fields in it. For this case workaround is easy and actually more elegant :

insert into creport (date_report) values (date())
