| Syntax | MarkIndex IndexName [,UserLoginNameExpression] |
| Action | [Statement] Adds the current record to a query index. |
| Scope | Usable anywhere. |
| Notes | This statement adds a reference to the current record to IndexName, where IndexName specifies a query index. If the UserLoginNameExpression is supplied, the index instance for that user is marked, rather than the one for the current user. This powerful feature allows different user record sets on the same index to be manipulated under program control. eg Workflow systems could pass tasks between members of a group. The system workarea SysError is set to a non-zero value if an error occurs, otherwise zero. Returns SysError = 1 if the user specified is not found. |

If FieldChanged(Salary) Then MarkIndex AuditIndex, "Equinox" The next method sets up three separate indexes for customers with unpaid invoices more than one, two, or three months old. The method examines each customer's invoices in reverse date order. If it finds an unpaid invoice, then the customer's record is added to the appropriate index. The method uses two fields: InvoicePaid (a logical value) and InvoiceDate. One index is used, InvoiceDate, which is a child index. logical marked1, marked2, marked3 |
