 I don't quite understand the problem .. at least, in the (ancient) version
of JDE that I am Y2K'ing,  Dreamwriter is a utility that 
o       selects and sorts records from a file, usually via OPNQRYF
o       accepts and stores values for various options/variations
o       calls an RPG program to do something with the records and options.

The inability to use a multi-format logical is a constraint of OPNQRYF, I
think.

The best way to get around this depends on the exact situation (leaving
aside non-programming solutions such as persuading the clients to get the
information they need from other reports -- this is always the first one I
try for).
