Index Declarations for Network Record-Types

The data adapter supports indexing using the IDMS Integrated Indexes.

Syntax: How to Declare Attributes for Integrated Indexes

The following attributes apply to declarations for Integrated Indexes. This declaration is not used in LRF Access Files. See Access File Syntax for an example of an index declaration.

IXSET=ixset, IXFLD=ixfld, IXDUP={Y|N}, IXORD={A|D} [, IXAREA=ixarea]

where:

ixset

Is the IDMS set name of the index set.

ixfld

Is the corresponding 1- to 12-character field name or alias with FIELDTYPE = I. If the key is composed of multiple fields, separate the individual field names or aliases with slashes.

IXDUP={Y|N}

Is Y if duplicate index values are allowed, N if not.

IXORD={A|D}

A indicates ascending, D indicates descending sort order of index.

ixarea

Is the IDMS area name of index. The IXAREA attribute is omitted unless the index entries reside in a different area from record-type being indexed.
