Use this option to initialize a newly allocated Index Area data set. You can also use this option to clear an Index Area before reloading a database or retrieving the Index entries for all areas in a database. See LOAD (Build a Data Area) and RETIX (Reconstruct Index) for details.
An Index Area must be initialized before it can be used by CA Datacom/DB. This is necessary only once for any Index Area. However, in certain cases a reload of a database or a reconstruct index (RETIX) operation can execute more quickly, if an existing Index Area is first initialized. See LOAD (Build a Data Area) and RETIX and the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide for further details about initializing the Index Area.
An INIT of an Index or data area clears the utility history for that area (see Type H - Utility Function History Report).
In Simplify mode, the function expects MUF to be enabled. This provides control and protection. If MUF is not enabled this function should wait for MUF to enable. If you are required to execute the function without MUF enabled, for example if it is needed to allow restart to execute, the function must follow a function that can only run with MUF not enabled, or it must follow a function to acknowledge MUF is not enabled with SET OPTION1=MUF_NOT_ENABLED. It is possible (but we do not recommend) to use SET OPTION1=MUF_ENABLED_OR_DISABLED.
