ADAORD REORASSO FILE=123
is a valid request that will simply reorder the entire associator - the "FILE=" parameter, while appearing to apply only to one file, actually does nothing, unlike the similar
ADAORD REORFASSO FILE=123
which reorganizes just the associator for file 123.
Perhaps a message could be added to the REOR{ASSO|DATA} functions that FILE= requires at least one additional sub-parameter to be effective?
Hi Miguel and Douglas!
I discussed this with Dave.
There is an ambiguity with reorganizing the ASSO for the entire database (REORASSO), or stating how to specify it for certain files, or if they want to reorganize only the ASSO of those files (REORFASSO).
There is no way to decide this other than to take the function keyword as is!
Changing ADAORD to reject FILE parameters without sub-parameters.
The effort to change this would be rather high, so we decided to document these ambiguities.
Therfore I reject this idea.
Thanks and cheers,
Jürgen
