I'm using CR 9 and the CRViewer ActiveX control doesn't seem to have the
above mentioned
properties so I've been forced to go this route unfortunately. (unless i'm
really a sucker for punishment)

In the interim I have made some progress in that I've managed to create the
COM objects as follows.

01 WK PIC X(1024)
01 CApplication OBJECT REFERENCE COM.
01 CReport OBJECT REFERENCE COM.
01 CReportName PIC X(1024)

.....

Move "CrystalRuntimeApplication" TO WK.
INVOKE COM "CREATE-OBJECT" USING WK RETURNING CApplication.
Move "CrystalRuntimeReport" TO WK.
INVOKE COM "CREATE-OBJECT" USING WK RETURNING CReport.

Move "MyReport.rpt" TO CReportName.
INVOKE CApplication "OpenReport" USING CReportName RETURNING CReport.

.....

The above compiles and runs error free but I still need to assign the
CReport to the CRViewer9 control.
I am battling to figure our how to do the powercobol equivilent of the
following vb syntax.

CRDesignerCtrl1.ReportObject = m_Report (m_Report being the equivilent of
my CReport)

CRViewer1.ReportSource = m_Report

CRViewer1.ViewReport

The c++ syntax has a similar assignment

m_Report = m_Application->OpenReport(ReportPath, dummy);
m_Viewer.SetReportSource(m_Report);

but I can't seem to figure out how to assign CReport to ReportSource as the
compiler regards the following as illegal.

MOVE CReport TO "ReportSource" OF CRViewer91.
