| I don't think you need XAB's to read/write an indexed file, only
to create it. I have accessed indexed files from Macro with only
a FAB and RAB by filling in the KBF/KSZ fields and setting
RAC field to keyed.
You may want the XAB's to retrieve information about an existing
file, such as key locations and sizes, but they are not necessary
if you know the file's record format.

| 405.4 | ??? | CAFEIN::PFAU | You can't get there from here | Tue Feb 10 1987 21:16 | 4 |
| How do you specify key positions/types/lengths without XAB's when
creating a file (without FDL$xxx)?

| 405.5 | got me! | PLDVAX::ZARLENGA | Bigger they are, Harder they hit | Wed Feb 11 1987 10:52 | 6 |
| OOOPS!
I just re-read .0. The magic word is "indexed". I didn't
see that the first time around. Damn that Evelyn Woods course!
