"Simple report output"

Considering my unanswered question a while ago, and then Jose's, I'm not 
sure what you mean by that.

Please, in addition to answering Ken's questions, please confirm 
***that, for the line on the format where data doesn't show for the 
record, you are NOT using dummy fields***.

Because if you are using dummy fields (arrays or not), the problem then 
may involve processing to include auto/output processing (and can be an 
issue that is logic and/or data related).
