>IDXMAINT CREATE DIR FType Version
Primary
Use this command to create an index file
directory starting at a specific version num-
ber and ending at a data file open for write.
Index files store all of the closed versions of
a file type. All blocks in the new index file,
beginning with the disk sequence number
indicated by primary are marked to poll. If
no data file is open for write, all 255 possible
versions are examined for inclusion in the
index file. If 56 versions (72- and 140-Mbyte
disks; 200 versions for 380-Mbyte with 56K
polling and 760-Mbyte) are found to exist,
the process is terminated.
Create a new file for writing records.
