Folks,
Just came across a program (written ages ago) which calls relater(); can't find any documentation on-it anywhere…
Can someone give me some direction of the options / parameters that we can use with relater and what it's main purpose is other than updating Relational indexes?
I'm going to assume if you are using relater() you should not have a Relational index on the table?
Thanks
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
RELATER is the routine which takes individual transactions from the indexing queues ( !Filename, 0, 1, 2, …) and uses them to update the relational index. It's only job is to update relational indexes. AFAIK calling it as RELATER() does nothing.
RELATER has never been documented because it is an internal sub program called in the Update_index / f.distributor chain of programs. Perhaps the Spezz REVMEDIA back issues tell more about how it functions.
