I am trying to convert a dbaselll command. the dbaselllcommand is using the file "buffer" indexed on the field "ttlpts". The command is "index on buffer to -ttlppts to bufpts,idx". This indexes the file in descending order. I have been unable to duplicate the command in visualdb useing "descending". Could a reader send me a conversion command in the correct syntax.

This works in dBase 5 for DOS but only for a master index (MDX), not a standalone index (NDX) since the NDX file structure did not support the descending option. As for Visual dBase, I'm not sure.
INDEX ON <fieldname> TAG <tagname> [OF <mdxname>] DESCENDING
INDEX ON <fieldname> TAG <tagname> [OF <mdxname>] DESCENDING
