dbreadpage reads a page of binary data from the server. This routine is primarily useful for examining and repairing damaged database pages. After calling dbreadpage, the DBPROCESS may contain some error or informational messages from the server. These messages may be accessed through a user-supplied message handler.
dbreadpage alters the contents of the DBPROCESS command buffer.
