Using a to-report procedure in Netlogo BehaviorSpace: "Measure runs using these reporters:"

Question

Is it possible to use a to-report function that reports multiple variables and updates with ticks in Netlogo behavior-space (measure runs using these reporters), so that as ticks update, the reported value is updated accordingly into spreadsheet?

    `to setup
      clear-all
      create-turtles 100 [ setxy random-xcor random-ycor ]
      reset-ticks
    end`

      to go
       move-turtles
       tick
        if ticks = 100 [
          stop
        ]
    end

    to move-turtles
      ask turtles [
        right random (90 + c)
        forward g + h
      ]
    end

    to-report pack
      ifelse (z? = true) [
        let a random-float 1.0
        let b random-float 2.0
        let c random-float 3.0
          if c > 1.5 [
           let g = a - b
           report g
          ]
           report a 
           report b
          ]
        [
        let d random-float 1.0
        let e random-float 2.0
        let f random-float 3.0
          if f > 1.5 [
           let h = d - e
           report h
           ]
           report d 
          report e
      ]
   ]
end

z? is a switch on the interface. When z? is switched on either g or a and b are reported, but when the switch is off, either h or d and e are reported (given the conditions that c and f are greater than 1.5 respectively).

If I call the report function pack in behavior space, within the measure runs using these reporters, field, the resulting spreadsheet does not show the tick-by-tick result updates for the values that are supposed to be reported (g or a and b, h or d and e, depending on whether the switch z? is on or off). The spreadsheet only contains the initializations associated with the setup procedure.

Also, I get a runtime error that says: reached end of reporter procedure without report being called netlogo

How can I get the packreporter to output results of values as they update with ticks in the resulting spreadsheet from a batch simulation run in behaviorspace? (I want to it to act the the same way a count turtles entry into the Measure runs using these reporters field in behaviorspace would behave, except instead of turtle counts, it should show g or a and b at each tick, otherwise h, d and e at each tick in the spreadsheet ).

Following up from comments:

I wasn't sure what you wanted to do with your double reports (a and b and d and e, so I used two different options. Since c, g, and h are referenced in several procedures, I assumed they are globals. The code I used:

globals [ c g h ]

to setup
  clear-all
  create-turtles 100 [ setxy random-xcor random-ycor ]
  reset-ticks
  set c 10
  set g 2
  set h 3
end


to go
  move-turtles
  tick
end


to move-turtles
  ask turtles [
    right random (90 + c)
    forward g + h
  ]
end


to-report pack
  ifelse (z? = true) [
    let a random-float 1.0
    let b random-float 2.0
    set c random-float 3.0
    if c > 1.5 [
      set g a - b
      report g
    ]
    report ( word a " " b )
  ]
  [
    let d random-float 1.0
    let ee random-float 2.0
    let f random-float 3.0
    if f > 1.5 [
      set h d - ee
      report h
    ]
    report d + ee    
  ]
end

Then, I set up the Behaviorspace experiment like this:

And I get Table output like this:

   run   z1. step                                   pack

Try this pack-2 reporter:

to-report pack-2
  let x random 5
  let y random 7
  set g g + 1
  if z? [
    set c c * 1.2
  ]
  set h x + y
  report ( word x " " y )
end

Then, try setting up the BehaviorSpace experiment like this:

When I run that experiment I get updating values for pack-2, c, g, and h on a per-tick basis, which looks as below in Spreadsheet output:

   pack.2         c  g  h pack.2.1 c.1 g.1 h.1
1     0 0  12.00000  3  0      2 2  10   3   4
2     0 3  14.40000  4  3      2 1  10   4   3
3     3 5  17.28000  5  8      4 4  10   5   8
4     1 2  20.73600  6  3      4 0  10   6   4
5     4 6  24.88320  7 10      3 6  10   7   9

And like this in Table output (easier to process with R or whatever):

   X.run.number.    z. X.step. pack.2       c g h
1              1  true       0    3 0 12.0000 3 3
2              2 false       0    2 0 10.0000 3 2
3              1  true       1    4 4 14.4000 4 8
4              2 false       1    1 0 10.0000 4 1
5              1  true       2    4 1 17.2800 5 5
