That should have said: FILEINFO has no info on the master of an open
part file that it's associated with and STATUS only tells you that the
current part file is a part file - again, no master info.

So, in the case where a part file belongs to several master files, and a
record is added through one of the master files; and the part file has a
trigger; how can you determine which master file the record was entered
through?

Definitive statement time.
Distributed files are Type 27. (Type 41 is an SQL view - Phil W spend a lot of
time working with the SQL engine, hence his "race memory"!)
There IS, in Universe, a physical entity. It is simply a linked list of
"partfile blocks". And, yes, this is not how Prime INF
Hi Stuart,
Another gotcha is how to determine which master file a part belongs to.
A part file can belong to multiple distributed files. You might, for
example, split your sales into monthly files and have distributed files to
represent quarters, years, the whole of history, etc.

Another gotcha is how to determine which master file a part belongs to. You
can go and read the &PARTFILES& record - which is cumbersome - but I can't see
another way to programatically get the name of the master which a part belongs
to. Fileinfo() and the STATUS statement don't carry it... any ide

Odder and odder.
I don't ever remember seeing a file at OS level with the name of a
distributed master file. PI *or* UV. As implemented by Prime, iirc

Perhaps a UV example would help.

Then things really are confusing ... I'm talking about the file-type

By "multi-part", do you mean

You can't create triggers (or indexes, or anything like that) on the

But - and I'm pretty sure this is true of indices at least - if you try
