I'm not sure what you mean by "with @id".  However, there are several "-r" 
parameters you can pass to *report, and each one sets a different system field:

     -r    Sets @PM
     -rw   Sets @PW
     -rx   Sets @PX
     -ry   Sets @PY
     -rz   Sets @PZ

For example:

     system "/appl/fp/dreport ... -rz '" & @id & "'"

This would set @PZ to the current value of @ID.  (Of course, @ID is already 
available in the dreport you're calling so I'm not sure I follow what, 
exactly, you want to do.)
