Since we haven't seen the code involved, have you run this output with the
debugger to see if the dummy fields are being filled?

You could also try using a show statement to display the field information
of the header on screen as the report runs. 

You might try adding "print" and the end of each section of the processing.

If:
Then: print;END
@brk1 if:
Then:print;END

If you haven't used the print command, it needs to be in each section to
have that section print.
