Table Organization and Access Method

The ORG and METHOD keywords define the physical organization of the target tableBASE table. Both must be specified together. Please see the tableBASE Programming Guide for the valid organization and method combinations.

Here are examples of valid ORG and METHOD combinations:

ORG=R, METHOD=S — Random organization, sequential search.

ORG=U, METHOD=S — User organization, sequential search.

ORG=S METHOD=B — Ascending sequential organization, binary search.

ORG=D, METHOD=B — Descending sequential organization, binary search.

ORG=H, METHOD=H — Hashed organization, hash search.

Any invalid combination of ORG and METHOD values will result in RC=8 with the message “Incompatible Organization and Access Method.”
