Hi there! I hope someone can help me with this question.
The short form is:
how can I know when an index i sascending or descending?

The long form is:

I have a Codebase Delphi Application (actually Delphi 5.0), in which
I have to check and, in case, modify, the structure of fields and tags
in a collection of tables.

Regadring tags/indexes, which is the problem, I use the TAG4INFO structure
to build indexes:

lData4File := d4Create(lcb,PFileName,
PFIELD4INFO(lfiPtr),
PTAG4INFO(ltiPtr));

actually, the TAG4INFO structure is as following:

TAG4INFO = Record
name : PChar;
expression : PChar;
filter : PChar;
unique : SmallInt;
descending : Word;
end;

Yhe problem arises when I have to check the tag/index structure for an
existing table; I use the tag info functions to retrieve these informations,
which can be invoked once a pointer to the tag is captured:

lsTAlias := t4alias(MyT4);
lsTExpr := t4expr(MyT4);
lsTFiltr := t4filter(MyT4);
liTUnique := t4Unique(MyT4);

The problem is that there seems to be NO FUCNTION FOR THE DESCENDING
attribute of a tag! How can I know if an index is ascending or descending?
