This is easy using QUERY.

Before you run QUERY, build a flat file:

!BUILD FOO;REC= <etc>.

Set a file equation:

!FILE QSLIST=FOO,OLD;DEV=DISC

In QUERY (or is it Query?):

>REPORT

The OUT=LP in your report statements will direct the report output to file
QSLIST, which we have directed to the flat file.
