I have done similar stuff with Business Objects reporting software.  I
don't know if this would help at all, but what I had to accomplish was
to resolve some fields that were more based on business logic than
just data.

I built service programs to accept parameters, and resolve these
fields of data.  Then, I mapped SQL functions to the service programs.
 Next, I created an SQL view that used the service programs via
function calls, and made the resulting field appear like a field of
data within the view.

Crystal reports could then look at the view on the AS/400, and it
would never be the wiser that anything was called -- it is all behind
the scenes.

I can send some code examples if this is even close to what you want to do.
