SYMPTOMS
When attempting to create an INDEX for a read-only cursor, you receive this error:
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
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
