Later releases of AREV have a routine provided called QUICKDEXER which permits the addition/removal of Quickdexes and Rightdexes to files from within an RBASIC program. QUICKDEXER takes four parameters and is called as a subroutine i.e.
CALL QUICKDEXER(FILE,TYPE,ACTION,FLAG)
The Parameters are as follows
| FILE | The name (NB not file variable) of the file to add the index to. |
| TYPE | "Q" for Quickdex or "R" for Rightdex |
| ACTION | 0 to add the index (you will be asked whether you wish to update the QUICKDEX/RIGHTDEX now). 1 will remove the index (without a confirmation message). |
| FLAG | Returns status of operation. Returns a variety of values, those identified thus far are 0 - Successful 1 - Invalid "Type" passed 3 - Quickdex already installed 4 - Rightdex already installed In addition there are various errors conforming to the new @FILE.ERROR specification. |
