You can manipulate the buffering mode in order to create an index (or indexes) on cursors

lnBuffermode = CURSORGETPROP("Buffering")

*-- force buffering to record

CURSORSETPROP("Buffering", 3)

INDEX ON <> TAG <> DESC ADDITIVE

CURSORSETPROP("Buffering", lnBuffermode)

I have this as a method in a SQL object to automatically index data coming back from remote cursors (SQL Server)
