Now I know Ken has stated more than once, that clerk & report only look at 
their environment once at start up and using putenv inside processing will 
have no effect on that self same processing, only on child processes which 
means system commands. Whether or not call or chain count as a true child 
process is up for debate, but his posted code leaves no room for doubt that 
the putenv can have no effect in this case.

Has something changed since the last time Ken said that?
