Conditional Indexes
The developer need only specify the FOR condition when creating the
index. In doing so he must be fully aware the index will no longer be
accessible to pre-CA-Clipper 5.2 applications.
Temporary Indexes
The developer need only specify a scope other than FOR when creating the
index. In doing so he must be fully aware the index will no longer be
accessible to pre-CA-Clipper 5.2 applications and that the index created
is not maintainable.
Header Changes
The signature byte of a .NTX file is 6 for a unenhanced NTX index. If
the index is created as a conditional index it will have a signature of
7 hex (6 hex ORed with 1 hex). If the index is created as a temporary
index it will have a signature of E hex. (6 hex ORed with 8 hex). See
Figure 7-1 for an illustration of all the possible values for the
signature byte.
