VA
FileMan KEY file (#.31) |
 |
Version 22 of VA FileMan introduces a
way to uniquely identify a record on a file. The developer defines a field or
fields as belonging to a KEY. The developer must also build an index for those
fields. Fields in the Primary KEY are displayed during classic FileMan lookup
^DIC. KEY fields are used to decide whether a record already exists on the
target file during Transfer or during data Installation using the Kernel
Installation and Distribution System (KIDS). The KEY file is #.31 (stored in
global ^DD("KEY",). |
