LIST-INDEX

Man Page Index

Called as:
list-index -Options filename {Same as jQL options}

This command is used to display to the screen details of all the current definitions. A format similar to jQL is produced.

Option -f allows you to specify your own file name instead of list-index creating a temporary file. This way you can find out what DICTionary items are created by list-index, and if you want to you can modify them and pass them on the command line. Using this option therefore allows you to define your own output format for the command.

Option -m produce "machine readable" displays. In other words the detail is displayed simply as a series of lines, one line per index definition, with a tab character (CHAR(9)) to delimit the fields. This makes it easily parsed by another program or UNIX script.

Option -v is for verbose mode -- all details will be printed instead of a smaller selection.

Example: Display all the index definitions, in full, for file CUSTOMERS, and send the output to the printer.
