| data | The name of a DATASET or INDEX attribute. |
| Return: | LOCAL returns a record set or index. |
The LOCAL function specifies that all subsequent operations on the data are performed locally on each node (similar to use of the LOCAL option on a function). This is typically used within an ALLNODES operation. Available for use only in Roxie.
Example:
ds := JOIN(SomeData,LOCAL(SomeIndex), LEFT.ID = RIGHT.ID);
