Re: audit report

Ah, the beauty of RPG's cycle!  Kathy, take a look at matching record
logic.  It is simple to implement, uses only a few lines of code, and
presents the records you want in the order you want them. 

(I said simple to implement, I didn't say it would be simple to figure out
for the first time.)
