Variables in headers of existing REPORTs

Suppose you want to have a report with a variable that either HAS A VALUE (eg SYS1) to be shown in the header, or the user can leave it BLANK on the Prompt panel, when the report header is to show 'All'.
*** This 'ought to be unnecessary' if the variable was in the header when the report was first defined (ie NEW)

If it's not working properly 

    1. At a command line, run TSO %RVARS report_name to find out what
       variables the report has.
    2. Make SQL commands to update the dialog table that controls report
       variables. For the variable in question, set the value for IN_HEADER
       to 'Y' and the value for IN_HEADER_VALUE to 'All'.
       Examine EPDM.DEFS(FIXVARS) for an example.
    3. Execute the SQL commands.
