in your examples
DmStrCopy (reportdbptr, 0, newReport.str);
-or-
DmWrite(reportdbprt, 0, newReport.str,
StrLen(newReport.str));
newReport.str is still a char pointer (char* str). This isnt what you mean,
right?
Should i define my report to be:
typedef struct {
char str;
}report;
if so, doesnt this str variable only hold one char? how do i get it to hold
a string of char, without using a char array?

You are trying to write a pointer to the database.
What good will that pointer be when you exit your app
and return to it? (no good at all)
What you need to do is to write the string of chars to
the database. For example,
DmStrCopy (reportdbptr, 0, newReport.str);
-or-
DmWrite(reportdbprt, 0, newReport.str,
StrLen(newReport.str));
