Selection date question

[Jean-Pierre A. Radley]

| I have a series of reports (3) different menu selections which function 
| as follows:
| 
| DPRODIR -K to remove previous selection criteria
| *CLERK to add 19 different selction criteria (2 date fields and 17 YESNO 
| fields)
| *REPORT to post data from an archive file to a temporary posting file
| *REPORT to post data from a working file to the same temporary posting file
| *REPORT to print the data with data combined from the archive and 
| working files
| 
| The archive and working files have identical maps.  Their only 
| difference is the archive file contains orders processed previously.  
| The working file contains only open orders and those orders processed on 
| a given day are archived each night.  The data posting and reports 
| function as designed.  However, since I am processing from multiple 
| files I had to post the date range fields to a control file and could 
| not simply use -R to pass the parameter.

Why in the world can't you pass whatever you want with -r, (or -rw, -rx,
-ry, -rz)?
