Chris, you've said this before so I'll say this again:
Unless they've changed the advanced course since I took it,
Cognos does not advocate (nor does the class manual) excessive
procedural code. In fact, they teach the opposite, with
detailed explanation of ACCESS statements and built-in
procedures.
