Midas/selidx

[Michel Laget <mlaget@free.fr>]

Config: Midas 01SEPpl1.3 on intel_linux, RH 7.0

Subj: selidx / may be of general interest

To speed up the writing of big tables in fits format, 
i want to disable the descriptor SELIDX during a session. 

However, using set/midas_sys SELIDX=no, seems to 
prevent the writing of any keyword at all during the 
session. Did someone experience/solve the same thing?

Thank you.

Here is a test script:

========
define/local ind/I/1/1 0
!
 do ind = 1 2
 write/out ind = 'ind'
 enddo
!
========

Mid_43 024> set/midas_sys SELIDX=no
Mid_43 023> @@ test
ind = 'ind'
ind = 'ind'

Mid_43 024> set/midas_sys SELIDX=yes
Mid_43 025> @@ test
ind = 0001
ind = 0002
