<br>
<br>
Is there a way to retrieve the index definitions of a data file where its indexes were built via the gui? So instead of ./dxmaint table -bs -ra -e -h "Rebuilding All Indexes" that rebuilds all the indexes without knowing anything about the indexes, I need to build them individually with the dxmaint command. Sometimes an index gets deleted and without this info, I have to spend a lot of time tracking down the process that uses the deleted index and then try and figure out how it was constructed. If this info can be gathered near creation time, I would have a library of the index definitions. I'm using SCO Unix here. So is there a filepro function or a storage location where the definition can be retrieved?<br>

Thanks,<br>
