BLDINDEX

The BLDINDEX command builds alternate indexes for existing data sets. The syntax of the BLDINDEX command is:

Command	Parameters
BLDINDEX	{INFILE(ddname)\|
	INDATASET(entryname)}
	{OUTFILE(ddname
	[ ddname...])\|
	OUTDATASET(entryname
	[ entryname...])}
	[{EXTERNALSORT\|INTERNALSORT}]
	[{SORTCALL\|NOSORTCALL}]
	[SORTDEVICETYPE(device type)]
	[SORTFILENUMBER(number)]
	[SORTMESSAGEDD(ddname)]
	[SORTMESSAGELEVEL({ALL\|CRITICAL\|NONE})]
	[WORKFILES(ddname[ ddname...])
	[CATALOG(catname)]

BLDINDEX can be abbreviated: BIX

Requirement: If you use BLDINDEX and intend to use the default sort product (DFSORT™ or equivalent), you must ensure that IDCAMS is called in problem state.
