A PARM value when no records are selected

[bruce@schuck.com]

Add a new pass 1 to just read the parm file. Write out
the parm data and empty fields for the rest of the
subfile items. 

Change pass 2 to do an append to the subfile instead of
creating a new one.

Or 

Add a new pass 1 that writes out the parm data to a
text file called parm as defines:

define parmout = "DEFINE PARM1 = " + value of parm file

report tab 1 parmout

Add the line USE PARM to the 2nd pass

Use PARM1 in the page header.
