APK448S INDEXING WAS REQUESTED, BUT NO GROUP TRIGGERn NOR ANY FIELD BASED ON IT WAS SATISFIED WITHIN THE PAGE RANGE SPECIFIED BY THE INDEXSTARTBY PARAMETER.

Explanation

Indexing was requested, but the first group INDEXn satisfier was outside the range of pages specified in the INDEXSTARTBY parameter. A group INDEX is an index whose field or fields are based on a group or recordrange trigger.

If the message return code is 16, that means that the ACIF indexer process ended and did not find a group trigger to index. The default INDEXSTARTBY value is 1 (one). The INDEXSTARTBY condition is satisfied only by group triggers, and not by floating triggers. In other words, if you want RC=0 for empty files or for other files that do not contain your specified group trigger for indexing, you must add INDEXSTARTBY=0 to allow that.
