woof, creating a .IDX); you need to close them down within the scope of the transaction.

You can create a non-structural .CDX using the TAG
blah OF
woof.CDX clause; I haven't checked, but it may be that creating a single index on a read-only cursor results in a non-structural CDX as well; I haven't tested, but it would make sense given the behavior of indexes on cursors from SQL Selects (you can create one index on the result of a SELECT... INTO CURSOR, but to have more than one, you have to reopen the cursor in read/write mode by USE AGAIN, so that the cursor's header can be updated - this would hint at the single index not being a structural index, since it's created without the ability to write into the header of the temporary table.)
