Building Alternate Indexes

Building Alternate Indexes

This section describes the process used to build Alternate Indexes using the following utility:

• GVBLDIX to build one or more AIXs (Alternate IndeXes) for one or more VSAM base clusters. This procedure replaces IDCAMS BLDINDEX.
• GVPATH which permits you to use discontiguous key alternate indexes. VSAM does not support a path defined over a discontiguous key alternate index.
