CL Command Reference - CRTSCHIDX

CL Command List > CRTSCHIDX Reference

Description:

The Create Search Index (CRTSCHIDX) command creates a search index. A search index is used to refer to the help information contained in one or more panel groups.

You can access a search index through data description specifications (DDS) by pressing the HELP key, or through the index search function using the Start Search Index (STRSCHIDX) command.

A search index created by the CRTSCHIDX command does not contain any data. Add data using the Add Search Index Entry (ADDSCHIDXE) command.

Restrictions:

. You must have add (*ADD) authority for the library where the search index is to be located.

. IBM-supplied panel groups cannot be added to a search index created with the CRTSCHIDX command; only panel groups created with the Create Panel Group (CRTPNLGRP) command can be added to a search index created with the CRTSCHIDX command.


Examples:

CRTSCHIDX SCHIDX(ACCOUNTING) TITLE(¡¯Accounting Help Index¡¯)
TEXT(¡¯Accounting Help Index¡¯)

This command creates a search index named ACCOUNTING in the current library.
