I need a custom index on APVENMAST by Tax ID and Tax ID Type. When I created it originally, I didn't set it up as a key change index. It failed. I change the yes to a no, did a blddbdict, and no changes were picked up. I tried deleting the index and starting all over. I just do not seem to get the index fixed. Is there a trick to this in 9.0.1.7?

Doesn't a blddbdict need to be followed by a dbreorg for the changes to become effeective?

What do you mean by "no changes were picked up"? =

You should also recompile any programs that use your index. =

When I change the value from Yes to No and do a blddbdict, there are no changes.

I'm assuming he means that there was no + dictionary file created. We've run into this a few times now with indexes...and often, depending upon what it is that is being changed, we have to "force" a + file. In other words....make a different, obvious change, do the blddbdict/reorg, then remove that change, and add your custom change, and then do the blddbdict/reorg again. That will pick it up.

In the case of a key change, I don't believe there is any change made to the database; key change is supported by all databases now supported by LSF9, so there really is nothing that gets implemented in the database, therefore no + dictionary and/or dbreorg required. The key change logic is implemented by the Lawson database layer; just make sure you recompile any affected programs, and that should be all that is needed.
