What is a "dos report"? Report in character mode? If so, you have to set that report property ("Design in character units" should be set to "Yes").

As far as I can tell, report will be created on the server, always. You can then copy it to local machine using Webutil.

Have a look at Denis Segard's messsage (posted on Jan 2, 2006) in this OTN forums discussion).
