Programmatically creates report.
-----------------------------------

This form of CREATE REPORT creates a quick report without opening a
report layout window.  The report is created as if the Quick Report...
option was selected while the report layout window was open.

Another form of CREATE REPORT, which is discussed in the previous help
topic, opens the Report Writer to let you interactively create a report
in a layout window.  The Report Writer has a Page Preview feature to
show you how your report will look before it is printed.
