Adding Quickdex/Rightdex Indexes Programmatically

Later releases of AREV have a routine provided called QUICKDEXER which permits the addition/removal of Quickdexes and Rightdexes to files from within an RBASIC program. QUICKDEXER takes four parameters and is called as a subroutine i.e.


0001       CALL QUICKDEXER(FILE,TYPE,ACTION,FLAG)

The Parameters are as follows

     FILE     The name (NB not file variable) of the file to add the index
              to.

     TYPE     "Q" for Quickdex or "R" for Rightdex

     ACTION   0 to add the index (you will be asked whether you wish to
              update the QUICKDEX/RIGHTDEX now). 1 will remove the index
              (without a confirmation message).

     FLAG     Returns status of operation. Returns a variety of values,
              those identified thus far are

                0    Successful
                1    Invalid "Type" passed
                3    Quickdex already installed
                4    Rightdex already installed

              In addition there are various errors conforming to the new
              @FILE.ERROR specification.
