Report Based on query

Has anyone gotten: 'How to create a report based on a Browse Query'
from the help system to work?

I have entered the instructions as shown in the help files.  I get
several error such as 'illegal datatype' on the string they
recommend.

Expected <ID> <Linebreak> CODE INCLUDE OMIT....

  If GLO:ReportQueryResult <> ''
     ThisReport.SetFilter(GLO:ReportQueryResult)
     ThisReport.ApplyFilter()
     GLO:ReportQueryResult = ''
  End

I have typed, retyped may combinations of SV's instructions.

Ver 5.5,  This is starting to get very frustrating!
