See Also

DBF(), FMT(), INDEXKEY(), INDEXORDER(), SET COMPATIBLE, SET FILECASE, SET FULLPATH

Description

The NDX() function returns, in lower case, the name of the index file <expN> for the table in the currently selected workarea. If the table is not indexed, then NDX() returns a null string. When used in conjunction with the INDEXORDER() function, the NDX() function will return the index file name of the master index.

If SET COMPATIBLE is set to FOXPRO or VFP the NDX() return value format differs in the following way: if SET FULLPATH is ON the full path to the index file is returned, if SET FILECASE is OFF then the return value is converted to upper case (Windows only).

Example

use accounts index acc_no,date_paid
? ndx(1)
acc_no.ndx
set order to 2
? ndx(indexorder())
date_paid.ndx
