Load page setup (Highjacked EurOmnis 2014)

[Michael Rowan]

My continued thanks to Michael and Rudolf on this.  At the moment I am
using Rudolfs technique, which in developer mode works beautifully.
Strangely, the line:
Set report name dummylib.[iDummyName]
and the line:
Set report name $libs.dummylib.[iDummyName]
both work correctly in developer mode but not in runtime.  They raise an
"Unable to find class....." error.

I have never before seen code that fails in runtime but works in developer,
and am at a loss to understand.  Any final cluesto this saga?

Mike
