Perhaps you are thinking of Auto Report.

Fascinating. I don't think I had heard of this before, but lo and
behold, apparently It's A Thing:

<https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/cl/crtrptpgm.htm>

And since the CRTRPTPGM command's "full name" (for lack of a more
official term) is "Create Auto Report RPG Program", I think folks can
be forgiven for having the impression that this is somehow part of
RPG, or at least related to RPG in some way.

I am not fully understanding what I am reading, but I'm getting the
distinct impression that "Auto Report" is a tool for generating RPG
programs (but not newer than RPG/400) without writing all the RPG
source yourself.
