PRB: INDEX ON produces 'File is read-only' Error with Cursor

RESOLUTION

Specify an .IDX file for the tags to be added to. For example, issue the following commands to create the two tags without yielding the error message:

   USE tutorial\customer
   SELECT * FROM customer WHERE state = 'CA' INTO CURSOR test
   INDEX ON zip+city TAG zip_city OF tutorial\testzip.idx
				

Because you can have only one IDX file assoicated with a cursor open at a time, you need to recreate the new index as needed with these commands:

   SET ORDER TO
   INDEX ON cno+company TO c:\fpw26\test2.idx
