HDBIndex (Function) In french: HDBIndex
  Available only with these kinds of connection
Opens an xBase index file. The index file(s) of an xBase data file opened with HDBOpen must be opened with HDBIndex to be used in WINDEV or WEBDEV. If the index files are not opened, they will not be updated when the file is written to. Remark: there is no need to open the data file or the index files if the file was just created by HDBCreation. HDBOpen("CUSTOMER", "CU", "C:\FILE\CUSTOMER.DBF")
HDBIndex("CUSTOMER", "C:\FILE\CUSTNAME.NTX", "CustName")
HDBIndex("CUSTOMER", "C:\FILE\CUSTPHONE.NTX", "Phone") Syntax
<Result> = HDBIndex(<Logical name of xBase file> , <Full name of index file> , <Key name>)
<Result>: Boolean - True if the operation was performed,
- False if a problem occurs. HError is used to identify the error.
<Logical name of xBase file>: Character string Name given to the xBase file. This file was opened by HDBOpen. <Full name of index file>: Character string Access path to index file and full file name (with the extension) <Key name>: Character string Name of index key. This parameter is mandatory for the files in .NDX, .NTX and .IDX format (indeed, the name of the key does not appear in the file). It is useless and ignored for files in .MDX format (because the key name appears in the file). Remarks Name of the key If the key is a calculated key (multiple), you must not specify all the items included the key, but any name that will be used in programming. For clarity, the name of the corresponding index file is often used. Limitations This function is not available when using a stand-alone executable.
