Welcome To The Jungle.  :-)

You're looking for "Selection Processing", which is called by the "-v"
switch to dreport, and uses the "Select" command conditioned on an If
clause of your choice, which can then, obviously, be very complex.

You can do simple selections with a selection set, and then run the
selection processing against what's left, or you can do everything in the
selection table, which is easier to comprehend at a glance, but may
be slower.

You can also run against -a[ll] records, or against an index.

If that's not enough hint, ask more questions.  :-)

Cheers,
