FILELIST Example

Example:

MyList	FILELIST
Prime	IFILE	NAME="Prime.isi"
Second	IFILE	NAME="Second.isi"
	FILELISTEND
.
	OPEN	MyList
	WRITE	MyList;"TEST1 Record data"
	CLOSE	MyList

This example opens a primary file (Prime.isi) and a secondary index file (Second.isi). It then writes a record to the primary file. The secondary file’s key is automatically inserted by the WRITE instruction. To perform the same functions without a FILELIST and Simplified File IO would require the following:

Prime	IFILE
PrimeKey	DIM	???
Second	IFILE
SecondKey	DIM	???
.
	OPEN	Prime,"Prime.isi"
	OPEN	Second,"Second.isi"
.
	(construct PrimeKey)
	(construct SecondKey)
.
	WRITE	Prime,PrimeKey;"TEST1 Record data"
	INSERT	Second,SecondKey
.
	CLOSE	Prime
	CLOSE	Second
