get clerk to act like report

I want to run a report that just calls a call table once for each record.
Except in that call table I want to issue form commands, so I need clerk
not report. Or else I need report with system clerk commands just to do
the forms, which I would rather avoid.
Records are selected via selection set. So the main input processing is
just one line to call the call table. Except that by itself doesn't
actually work. It just sits there at entsel on the first record. If I
make the table:
---top---
end
@entsel
call "mytable"
end
---end---
Then I can walk the records and the call table runs on each, by pressing
enter. But that's no good and I can't believe that adding a pushkey is
really the answer either :)
So how can I construct an input processing and clerk command line
options so that clerk will essentially behave as report and run once per
selected record and then exit at the end of the selected records?
