Is there any way to do a compound report such that you have a report IN a report based on a by (kind of like a drilldown but right there in the report).

So if my outer report is sorted on COUNTRY and for each COUNTRY I want to have a subhead that will display the contents of another report that uses that value of COUNTRY.

Perhaps something like this:

1st report:
  TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR SALES
BY COUNTRY
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
-* Run the population report for the current COUNTRY
END


2nd report:
  TABLE FILE COUNTRIES
PRINT POPULATION
BY CITY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ &CNTRY
END

You could look at doing a multi-verb request but there are some restrictions. All the initial sorts must be the same and/or increase by one with each set. Only the last one can be a print.

Wouldn't a multi-verb request require me to be getting the data from one data source?
