file.

file, set DIK to the global root of the file.

comma, up to but not including the ien of the subfile entry to reindex.
DA Input
If you are reindexing an entry at the top level of a
file, set DA to the internal entry number of the file entry to reindex.

If you are reindexing an entry in a subfile, set up DA as an array, where

DA(1..n) Input
If you are reindexing entries in a subfile, set up DA
as an array, where DA(1) is the entry number at the next higher file
level,...DA(n) is the entry number at the file's top level. Since ENALL^DIK
reindexes all entries at a given file level, don't set the unsubscripted DA
node.
IX2
Executes the KILL logic for only one entry at all
file levels at or below the one specified in DIK.

Before calling this entry point, you should be familiar with the effects of
executing the kill logic of the relevant cross-references (including
bulletins, triggers, and MUMPS-type).
