Fine tables are made up of keys and pointers. The key value is the same value that the record specified by the data pointer contains. The pointers are relative segment numbers into the file and a word offset of where the data starts within the block. The data pointers have the following format:
Field |
Meaning |
---|---|
[43:24] |
The relative segment number of the block that contains the record |
[19:20] |
The word offset into the block of the beginning of the record |
