INDEX

The INDEX control statement creates a page index for a SYSOUTs, using all page separation criteria defined online. Page separation criteria are defined with the logical views of a SYSOUT.

Note: For more information about page indexing, see the chapter on Logical Viewing in the User Guide.

An archived report must reside on the CA View primary disk database to be indexed.

Syntax:

/INDEX   GEN=nnnnn
         ID=id
         SEQ=nnnnn

where:

GEN=nnnnn

Specifies the absolute or relative number of the generation of the report to be indexed.

If omitted, the most recently archived report for the report identifier is used.

ID=id

Specifies the SYSOUT ID/report identifier of the group

The value can be 1 to 32 characters.

Note: If the id contains embedded blanks, commas, equal signs, parentheses, or quotes, it must be enclosed in quotes (single or double). Any quotes in Report-id must be entered as a pair of quotes because a non-paired quote ends the ID. For example, if the value is JIM’S REPORT it must be entered as ‘JIM’’S REPORT’ or "JIM’S REPORT".

This parameter is required.

SEQ=nnnnn

Specifies the absolute or relative sequence number of the SYSOUT group to be indexed

• If omitted, the most recently archived group for the ID and GEN specified is used.
• If GEN is omitted and SEQ is specified as a negative relative number, the SYSOUT relative to the most recently archived SYSOUT is processed.
• If GEN is omitted and SEQ is specified as a positive number, SEQ number is ignored and the most current SYSOUT is processed.

EX: SEQ=-1

The second most recently archived SYSOUT is processed regardless of its generation and sequence number.

EX: SEQ=-2

The third most recently archived SYSOUT is processed regardless of its generation and sequence number.
