INDEX parameter

This parameter controls the selection of the PIUs to be formatted. When the INDEX parameter is specified, GPTNORE parameter (GPT trace data) selection processing is bypassed for GPT records. See GPTNODE parameter (GPT trace data) for more information. A maximum of 20 index parameters can be selected. For more information about selecting PIUs for the GPT index report see How ACF/TAP supports GPT data.

           +-Bnetaddr1,netaddr2,nnnnnnn-+   
           '-Innnnnnn-------------------'

Anetaddr1,netaddr2

Specify a pair of network addresses between which PIUs are to be formatted. ACF/TAP selects all GPT elements with this address pair. The network address formats are sssssssseeee, where ssssssss is the subarea address, and eeee is the element address.

Bnetaddr1,netaddr2,nnnnnnn

Specify a pair of network addresses between which PIUs are to be formatted beginning at a particular GPT record number. ACF/TAP begins processing using the selected record number and continues until the end of the file is reached. The starting record number is nnnnnnn, and netaddr1,netaddr2 is the address pair to be formatted. The record number (nnnnnnn) can be from 1 - 7 digits in length and does not need to be padded with zeros.

Innnnnnn

Specify a starting index number obtained from the GPT index report. It can be 1 - 7 digits in length and does not need to be padded with zeros. This option shows the conversation starting at the selected index number and continues to show the associated GPT entries until one of the following occurs:

Another FMH5 is encountered for the selected address pair (the start of another conversation).
A BIND is encountered for the selected address pair. The original session has ended, and a new session is being initiated.
A new status record for a dummy BIND for the selected address pair is encountered. The original session has ended, and a new session is initiated.
