180.0. "KEYS within KEYS?" by CHEFS::HASTONM (Words in place of wisdom) Wed Feb 08 1989 05:58

                    { Cross-posted in SHIRE::FOCUS }
    
    I have two questions, if they've been addressed before please point
    me to the right place.
    
    1) I wish to describe a complex key structure thus:
     
                Key 0
                  |
    -------------------------------
    | Key 1                       |
    -------------------------------------------------
    | Field 1 | Field 2 | Field 3 | Data............|
    -------------------------------------------------
    
    This works just fine as far as RMS is concerned, but I cannot find
    a way for this to be described in FOCUS. Has anyone else?
    
    2) {This may be related} What does the `INDEX=I' descriptor mean
    when describing the group field(s)? This one isn't in the book.
    
    All help much appreciated,
                              M
