Description

Normally a report uses constraints to handle all record initializing, finding, and selection. Occasionally, the automatic constraints can work against you. In such a case, you can set the no_constrained_find_state to true. When it is true, it is up to you to program the file-buffer initialization (use either Function starting_report or Procedure find_init) and record selection (use Function selection). This property must be manually set.
