n

The starting index number in the range of indexes for which you want to track access statistics.

Access to the statistics is handled through the Virtual System Tables (VSTs). Index statistics are stored in the _IndexStat VST. To obtain index numbers, use the following 4GL code:

FOR EACH _file: DISPLAY _file.file-filename. FOR EACH _index WHERE index.file-recid = RECID(file): DISPLAY _idx-num _index-name. END. END.

This results in the following output:

File-Name filename _idx-num Index-Name n1 index name1 n2 index name2 n3 index name3
