| Description |
verifies the integrity of one or all b-tree indices in a given filename.
"a.code" specifies the "a (algebraic)" processing code to be used in forming the keys to the index. The processing code must include an attribute number. The "*" (asterisk) designates all indices. A "?" displays on-line help for this command. With no options specified, the process examines each item in the file and verifies each of the indicies specified. A counter displays on the screen for monitoring the progress of the "verify-index". |
| Options |
c Compares the file to the index only.
e Creates an error log. When this option is specified, the command will prompt for the error log file and item. (Only available on releases 6.1.0 and above.) f Displays link and node-id's during verification. i Displays item-id's. k Verifies links and nodes. l Locks each data item as it is verified. m Suppresses all messages. o Reports missing item-id's and locates items indexed in the wrong place. While using this option makes the process run slower, it increases the reliability and effectiveness of the process. p Directs report to system printer, via the Spooler. r Inhibits index recreation on link error. s Suppresses display of item counter. v Verifies that the data exists for the given indices. This is used in the case where the index contains pointers to item-id's which have been deleted. This is not normal. x Suppresses automatic fix of bad indices. This option produces a report only. z Stops processing after link and node verification. |
