Use "LIST.INDEX filename" and check under the  "Build" column, indexes
usually say "Not Reqd" if they are updated automatically.

The DISABLE.INDEX & ENABLE.INDEX commands can be used to turn off/on
automatic updating of the indexes.

But, as Henry mentioned, if the subroutines are accessing data in other
files, then automatic updating is not really a good idea because as soon
as the other file changes your AK will be out of date (even with
automatic updates on).

IMO Aks should only ever reference @ID & @RECORD.

Subject: [U2] Auto-updating of secondary indices.

>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.
