OrdBagExt()

Retrieves the default extension for index files.

Syntax

OrdBagExt() --> cFileExtension

Return

The function returns the default extension for index files used by the default RDD as a character string.

Description

OrdBagExt() returns the extension for index files used by the RDD that opens a database in the current work area. Different RDDs maintain different default file extensions. They are used when an index file is created and the file name is specified without extension.

Note:  OrdBagExt() does not return the file extension of an open index.
