It's the 'MonKeY' file type. To retrieve information, the PRO-IV kernel shouts at a tiny monkey until it runs off and returns with a banana. Sources at PRO-IV describe it as 'one of our most reliable data interfaces ever*'. What the monkey says is sadly unprintable.
* i.e. it consistently returns the same thing - the banana. Except on VMS where it returns a dried fig for no apparent reason. PRO-IV 3rd tier support are working on a fix.

Hi,
MKY file type is used for Memory files.
I'm not sure if it fully works in V4.6 (its not actually supported), you have to mess around with SYSF commands and I never got it to work.
Version 5.0 fully supports Memory Files. While it was in Beta Testing I found a few problems with it not releasing memory and a few other things. I'm not sure if they were fixed because I have not yet had time to go back and re-test things.
If/When they work, they are a very useful extension, esp for performance as they are up to 10 times faster than a Pro-ISAM file.

Ahhhh,
So... its the MonKeY who we have to teach that 1=1 and 0=0...
And it was the MonKeY's fault, that 1=0...

We encountered problems in some of our functions after regenning them in our new kernel environment. (4.6 r213). We found out some files are getting added to our function and when I checked those files (MKCURATR and MKCUR_LS) they have this type MKY and part of the file's description says memory mapped files. We can't get definite answer on why its getting added and why we are getting regen errors. But after changing the category of those files to SL, we didn;t get any errors anymore....Another file we found is P4FUNPR1.
