Ken, Considering the nature of secondary indexes, and not just Universe, you should never count on an index built on a subroutine to be updated automatically. If Universe does this, it must be magic. ;-) The same goes for any dictionary definition that returns content from another file. Regards, Charlie Noah On 5/17/2009 9:15 PM, Ken Ford wrote:
>From my reading of the Universe documentation, secondary indices should be automatically updated. I have a case where a file has about 8 secondary indices, some of which are updated automatically, and some seem not to be. A complete rebuild is done on all these indices each night. There does not seem to be anything significantly different about the ones that don't update automatically. They are I-descriptors that call a subroutine, but others like these update automatically. Any suggestions? I am thinking I should delete the indices in question, recreate them, and rebuild them.
