Listing Several Reports in One Application Run

The LIST NEWPAGE statement paginates a single report and separates multiple reports in a single application run. However, the LIST NEWPAGE statement maintains all of the data in one file. To separate several reports using the same RUNLIST file into distinct files, you can release the file for printing between reports. The RELEASE REPORT RUNLIST command can close the RUNLIST file and release the current contents for printing. A new RUNLIST file is opened before returning control to the application.

Since there is only one output file active at a time, multiple reports cannot be generated simultaneously. They must be produced one at a time.
