 dbReport (cFormatFile, bGetRecord, aDataDictionary, cOutputFile) -> lError

   Function to generate a report with dbReport

     Given:
       cFormatFile      Filename for Format file to be used by dbReport
       bGetRecord       Code block that retrieves record to be printed.
                        This function must return an array of the field
                        values to be used by dbReport.  If there are no
                        more records to be printed this function must return
                        NIL.  The value in an element of the array returned
                        corresponds to the field in the aDataDictionary
                        array.
       aDataDictionary  Array containing the names of the fields in the
                        record.  These names need not match the actual
                        field names of the .dbf file.  However, the field
                        names defined in the format file must match the the
                        field names in the array.
       cOutputFile      Filename to output the report to.  If cOutput is
                        defined the report will be output to a text file by
                        that name, otherwise the report will be output to the
                        printer.

   Returns:
       lError           Returns logical indicating if an error has occured
                        In the case of an error(s) a error file
                        ("dbReport.err") will contain as list of the error(s)
