filename
A character string containing only those alphanumeric
characters supported in AIX file names.
indexobj={group | all | none}
Specifies the type of information ACIF puts in the index object file.
Values are:
group Places only group-level entries into the index object file,
which saves space.
all Places both page-level and group-level entries into the index
object file. Select all if you are indexing a file for use with
the Workbench Viewer.
none Suppresses the collection of all index-level information.
Choose none if you do not require an external index file.
Choosing none will also reduce ACIF storage requirements.
indexstartby={1 |
nn
}
Specifies the output page number by which ACIF must find an
indexing field, if ACIF is indexing the file. Values are:
1 ACIF must find an index on the first page.
nn
Specifies the output page number by which ACIF must find the
index criteria specified.
This parameter is helpful if, for example, your file contains header
pages. If your file contains two header pages, you can specify a page
number one greater than the number of header pages
(indexstartby=3).
If ACIF does not find an indexing field before the page number
specified in the indexstartby parameter, it issues a message and
stops processing.
indxexit=
programname
Specifies the name or the full path name of the index record exit
program. This is the program ACIF calls for every record (structured
field) it writes in the index object file ( indexdd). If you specify the file
name without a path, ACIF searches for the exit program in the paths
specified by the PATH environment variable. If this parameter is not
specified, ACIF will not use an index record exit program. The value
is:
programname
Any valid index record exit program name. The exit
program name is case-sensitive.
inpexit=
programname
Specifies the name or the full path name of the input record exit
program. The acif command calls this program for every record
(every line) it reads from the input file ( inputdd). If you specify the
file name without a path, the acif command searches for the exit
program in the paths specified by the PATH environment variable. If
you do not specify this parameter, the acif command will not use an
input record exit program. The value is:
