ORDISUNIQUE()
Return the status of the unique flag for a given order
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ORDISUNIQUE([<cOrder> | <nPosition>],
[<cIndexFile>]) --> lUnique
Arguments
<cOrder> | <nPosition> is the name of the order or a number
representing its position in the order list. Using the order name is
the preferred method since the position may be difficult to determine
using multiple-order index files. If omitted or NIL, the controlling
order is assumed.
Specifying an invalid order will raise a runtime error.
<cIndexFile> is the name of an index file, including an optional
drive and directory (no extension should be specified). Use this
argument with <cOrder> to remove ambiguity when there are two or more
orders with the same name in different index files.
If <cIndexFile> is not open by the current process, a runtime error is
raised.
Returns
ORDISUNIQUE() returns the status of the indicated order's unique flag as
a logical value.
Description
By default, this function operates on the currently selected work area.
It will operate on an unselected work area if you specify it as part of
an aliased expression.
Examples
. This example shows the return value of ORDISUNIQUE() using
various orders:
USE Customer VIA "DBFCDX"
INDEX ON LastName TAG Last UNIQUE
INDEX ON FirstName TAG First
INDEX ON Age TO j:\test\tmp\age UNIQUE
SET ORDER TO TAG Last
? ORDISUNIQUE() // Result: .T. for Last
? ORDISUNIQUE("First") // Result: .F.
? ORDISUNIQUE("Age") // Result: .T.
