    What exactly are you looking for? The SQL Code which creates the dataset or the RDL code (the XML code that defines the report)? Or are you looking for the custom code which may have been written for you by someone else to perform some customization on the data, design or whatnot? This third bit is what it seems the magazine was referring to.

    EDIT: Also, what version are you using and how are you editing the report? using BIDS, Visual Studio etc?

    This refers to .Net code that can be embedded into a report. In VS 2008, you have to have a report open on the design surface. With the Design tab selected, go to the top menu and choose Report>>Report Properties, and then choose Code. Any embedded code will be here.

    Personally I have one bit of embedded code in all of my reports:

    Public Function DivideBy(ByVal Exp1, ByVal Exp2)

    If Microsoft.VisualBasic.IsNumeric(Exp1) And Microsoft.VisualBasic.IsNumeric(Exp2) Then

    If Exp2 = 0 Then

    DivideBy = 0

    Else: DivideBy = Exp1/Exp2

    End If

    Else

    DivideBy = "N/A"

    End If

    End Function

    This function allows me to do division without checking first for a zero or a numeric value. It is accessed in the expression builder as

    =code.DivideBy(Fields!FieldName.Value, Fields!DifferentFieldName.value)

    FYI the code above is a modification of someone else's work that I found here on SSC.
