Connecting Records to Indexed Sets

All set orders (that is, FIRST, LAST, NEXT, PRIOR, and SORTED) are supported for indexed sets. Indexed set order determines the way CA IDMS/DB builds the index when new member record occurrences are connected to the indexed set.

Connecting members to indexed sets ordered FIRST, LAST, NEXT, or PRIOR is discussed next, followed by a separate discussion of connecting members to indexed sets with a set order of SORTED.
