​Hasn't been true for a while now...

create index myidx
on mytbl (mykey)
add fld1, fld2, fld3

creates a *FILE object that contains only mykey, fld1, fld2, fld3;
regardless of how many other columns are there.

Works just like a DDS keyed logical with an explicit column list.

Great for RLA.

And FYI: qibble - a slight objection or criticism.
