Syntax

<Result> = HChangeKey(<Data file> [, <Item> [, <Browse mode>]])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the search key was modified,
False an error occurred (no read function has preceded the change of key...): the search key is not modified. HError is used to identify the error.

<Data file>: Character string (with or without quotes)

Name of data file, HFSQL view or query used.

<Item>: Optional character string (with or without quotes)

Name of the new search item. If this name is not specified, HChangeKey handles the last key item specified on this file by the last function for HFSQL management (starting with the letter H).

<Browse mode>: Optional Integer constant

Characteristic of the data file route on the new key:
hKeepFilter The filter implemented by HFilter will be taken into account, even if the search key is not optimized for the filter.
Reminder: HFilter returns the search key optimized for the filter.
Caution: In this case, poor performance may occur on huge data files.
