Callback function parameter

	====Callback function parameter====		====Callback function parameter====
	No callback function ~~used~~.		The zero based index of the currently processed row in $aItems.

			As the data to process is being held in $aItems in the main script the callback function can directly alter this data. So there is no need to return $aItems to _OLT_Export and hence _OLT_Export will ignore returned data.
