ISAM
 
    ■ The Microsoft BASIC Compiler includes a set of ISAM (Indexed Sequential
      Access Method) features for writing data management programs. See
      Chapter 10, "Database Programming with ISAM," in the BASIC Programmer's
      Guide for more information about using ISAM.
    ■ The OPEN statement used with the ISAM keyword creates an ISAM database
      and tables where they do not exist, and opens them.
