QPRINT2 was so you could write two reports from one program as you went
along.  It was easy to write the detail lines and summary lines to QPRINT
for report 1 and then write just the summary lines to QPRINT2 so that
report 2 was done also.  No need to run some 5 hour month end analysis
program twice, once was enough.
