When you call LBR$INI_CONTROL, the Librarian sets the current
library index to 1 (the module name table, unless the library is
a user-developed library). If you need to process another library
index, you must use LBR$SET_INDEX to change the current library
index.
Note that macro, help, and text libraries contain only one
index; therefore, you do not need to call LBR$SET_INDEX. Object
libraries contain two indexes. If you want to access the global
symbol table, you must call the LBR$SET_INDEX routine to set the
index number. User-developed libraries can contain more than one
index; therefore, you may need to call LBR$SET_INDEX to set the
index number.
Upon successful completion, LBR$SET_INDEX sets the current
library index to the requested index number. LBR routines number
indexes starting with 1.
