     I don't know of any.

     This problem has caused me to write many a sort/selection processing
table instead of just using a simple select.  

     In some cases, I simply modified the existing reports to ask for
starting and ending dates, along with other info the user has already typed
into the selection set, a second time when the report starts.  This was more
cost effective in terms of programming time on reports that are run
infrequently, such as end-of-year physical inventory lists.
