Indexing with ACIF

If you use ACIF to index the input data, the application indexing parameters determine how ACIF indexes the data and the code page of the index data generated by ACIF.

The CPGID (Code Page Global Identifier) parameter identifies the code page of the index data generated by ACIF. The CPGID should be the same as the code page of the source data. You must code ACIF trigger and index string values in the code page of the source data. See the IBM Content Manager OnDemand Indexing Reference for more information about ACIF, including examples that show how to code trigger and index string values for EBCDIC data.

Important: If you plan to use ACIF to generate index data in a multi-byte language, then you must allow ACIF to create the Map Coded Font Format 2 (MCF2) structured fields with coded fonts. To do so, you must set the MCF2REF parameter to CF (MCF2REF=CF).
