SETINDEX makes the specified ISAM table index the current index.
 
SETINDEX [#]filenumber%[,indexname$]
    ■ The argument filenumber% is the number used in the OPEN statement
      to open the table.
    ■ The argument indexname$ is the name used in the CREATEINDEX statement
      to create the index.
    ■ If you omit the indexname$ argument or specify double quotes ("") for
      indexname$, the current index is the NULL index. The NULL index
      represents the order in which records were added to the file.
 
Usage Notes
    ■ After SETINDEX, the current record is the first record according to
      that index.
