Description:
DISPNDX is a utility to display the contents of dBASE II & III
index file key expressions. The file name, creation date, type of file
and key expression are listed. Error messages are provided for empty
datasets and non-dBASE files. It requires MS-DOS or PS-DOS 2.x or later.
DISPNDX can be run from the DOS prompt or by using the RUN command
under dBASE III. Console output can be redirected or piped as desired.
You can bring the output of DISPNDX into a database for further analysis
by redirecting the output to a file, USEing one of the two model databases
provided with this library (INDEX2 is for dBASE II, INDEX3 for dBASE III),
and APPENDing from the file with the SDF option.
Usage Summary:
DISPNDX [drive:][\path\][filename] [/h] [>device]
where [..] indicates optional items.
Usage Examples:
DISPNDX -current disk, current subdirectory, *.ndx,
print heading, output to console
DISPNDX B: -B disk, root directory, *.ndx
print heading, output to console
DISPNDX \dbase\ -current disk, dbase subdirectory, *.ndx,
print heading, output to console
DISPNDX inv* /h >inv -current disk, current subdirectory, inv*.ndx,
no heading, output to file "inv"
DISPNDX | SORT -current disk, current subdirectory, *.ndx
