Re: [Hardhats-members] Fileman lookup question: Aliases in PATIENT file

Well, I got it working with my code posted, but I am glad to see that I could have done it the proper way.  I appear to have reinvented the wheel (again).  I had assumed that reindexing the "B" index of the subfile ALIAS would only reindex one given record, not scan through the entire file and take care of all aliases.  Thanks! But "B" isn't a whole file cross-reference. I probably would have done the same thing you did (or possibly re-index the MUMPS cross-reference, but only after looking at it very carefully -- you never know what hidden assumptions might be built into those things.)
