[Tiny-cobol-users] Cobol Alternate Keys

[Andrew C. <an...@an...>]

Hi,

Rildo I have been giving the Alternate keys some thought. 

Please could you amend the structure that is passed to the open statement
to include a file ident field for  the alternate key structure. 
In order to handle Alternate Keys with the
current implementation of DB we will need a seperate file for each
alternate key. This will will contain the Alternate key and the master
key.

The key that is being used for all reads will be set either by START or
READ ... KEY IS. This  key is used for all Indexed access until such time
as it is changed by another START key is of READ .. Key is.

Regards
Andrew Cameron
