INDEX Number of Indices for NKISAM Files

INDEX Displays the number of created indices for an ISAM file. For KISAM files and NKISAM files without secondary indices, the value of 1 is displayed, since these files only have a single index structure. For NKISAM files with n secondary indices (BS2000 command CREate Alternate Index), the value n+1 is output.

Selection parameter: >x | <x | =x

Notes:

Specifying a value greater than 1 will select all those NKISAM files for which at least 1 secondary index has been created.

For complete name and keypos/keylen information of all secondary indices of a file, the Action Code SI (Show Alternate Index, see page 6-) can be given.

To display an NKISAM file in secondary key sequence, the DA command (Data Access, see page 8-) can be used.
