DBSETINDEX()
Empty orders from an order bag into the order list
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DBSETINDEX(<cOrderBagName>) --> NIL
Arguments
<cOrderBagName> is the name of a disk file containing one or more
orders. You may specify <cOrderBagName> as the file name with or
without the path name or extension. If you do not include the extension
as part of <cOrderBagName>, CA-Clipper uses the default extension of the
current RDD.
Returns
DBSETINDEX() always returns NIL.
Description
DBSETINDEX() is a database function that adds the contents of an order
bag into the order list of the current work area. Any orders already
associated with the work area continue to be active. If the newly
opened order bag is the only order associated with the work area, it
becomes the controlling order; otherwise, the controlling order remains
unchanged. If the order bag contains more than one order, and there are
no other orders associated with the work area, the first order in the
new order bag becomes the controlling order.
Note: DBSETINDEX() does not close all currently open index files.
DBSETINDEX() is a compatibility command and therefore is not
recommended. It is superseded by the ORDLISTADD() function.
Examples
USE Customer NEW
DBSETINDEX( "Cust01" ) // Open the index Cust01
// in the current work area
DBSETINDEX( "Cust02" ) // Open the index Cust02
// leaving Cust01 open
