First, you'll have to send the code at the very beginning of the report: the 'before report' trigger would be the place to do this. Then, within the users group, you would need some formula column, that generates the 'take the next bin' PCL string.

Guess your problem is right there:
you do _need_ a reference to the destination (aka person 1, person 2, etc) within you report.

Again, this is all hypothetical, but hope it helps. Good luck!
