 N/A
 DUPS FIRST
 DUPS LAST
 DUPS NOT

7 SEQUENCE OPTION--Either ASCENDING or DESCENDING depending on the order in which member record occurrences are to be stored in the index set.

11 MAX NUMBER OF TABLE ENTRIES--The maximum number of table entries that can be made in an SR8 index record.

12 MAX LENGTH OF TABLE ENTRY--The maximum length of each entry that can be entered into an SR8 index record. The length depends upon which sort type is specified.

13 SYMBOLIC KEY LENGTH--The maximum number of bytes defined for the sort key specified.

14 MAX SR8 RECORD SIZE--The size of the largest SR8 index record encountered in this SR8 index set.

15 TOTAL BYTES TO STORE INDEX--The total storage space requirements for all SR8 and SR7 or user-specified owner records of the index set.

16 PAGE NUMBER - 1ST SR8--The page number of the first SR8 record encountered that is pointed to by an owner record.

17 NUMBER OF BOTTOM SR8 IN TOP--The number of bottom level SR8 records stored in the top level of the index set.

18 SR8 DISPLACEMENT--The number of pages the bottom level SR8 index records are stored from their owners.

19 NUMBER OF LEVELS--The maximum number of levels in the hierarchy for any owner occurrence within this SR8 index set.

20 TOTAL ORPHAN COUNT--The total number of orphan counts within this SR8 index set. This number is the sum of the upper level (item 24) and bottom level (item 28) orphan counts.

21 SR8 RECORDS--The number of SR8 index record occurrences in the upper level of the index set.

22 PAGE SPREAD--The number of pages on which upper level SR8 index record occurrences occur.

23 USED TABLE ENTRIES--The number of filled table entries for all upper level SR8 record occurrences in the SR8 index set.

 AVG        =            USED TABLE ENTRIES (23
                         Upper SR8 INDEX RECORDS (21)

24 ORPHAN COUNT--The total number of orphan counts for all SR8 records within the upper level of this set.

Also included are the average (AVG) number of orphans per upper level SR8 index record occurrence, the greatest number of orphans (MAX), and the fewest number of orphans (MIN) per upper level SR8 index record occurrence.

 AVG        =            Upper ORPHAN COUNT (24)
                         Upper SR8 INDEX RECORDS (21)

                         Bottom SR8 Index RECORDS (25)

28 ORPHAN COUNT--The total number of orphan counts for all SR8 records within the bottom level of this set.

Also included are the average (AVG) number of orphans per bottom level SR8 index record occurrence, the greatest number of orphans (MAX), and the fewest number of orphans (MIN) per bottom level SR8 index record occurrence.

 AVG        =            Bottom ORPHAN COUNT (28)
                         Bottom SR8 INDEX RECORDS (25)
