Re: [U2] Unidata Indexing Problems
I believe Colin was referring to a problem with BUILD.INDEX during the phase that udtsort.exe is used to sort the temp files before applying to the index. As Colin indicated - this is ancient history (in terms of UniData releases). Wally Terhune U2 Support Architect Rocket Software 4700 S.
