inherited filePro code wierdness

So I inherited a Customer where most of the code was written by the late 
former owner of the Company, and there are some odd things that I have 
never seen nor done in fP code.

There are many lines in scripts that run /appl/fp/dreport with a -j on 
the command line.  I have only used that in clerk processing.  Will that 
actually do anything?

Many of the selection processing has copies of the code that is in the 
output processing, some writing to files in both.  Does the selection 
processing do any writes to files?

Also odd is how most lines that run fP code do dreport instead of 
rreport even though it is 4.08 filePro on Unix....
