Have you compiled the i-descriptor fields? Try listing the field you're trying to declare as an index, just before you declare it.
It's a pain - some commands (LIST) will do an auto-compile, but most just refuse. If you've done almost anything to the DICT entry since you last did a LIST of that field, that would explain your problem.

Four of the fields are D-Types, and CREATE.INDEX runs fine for them. Three fields though, are I-Types (that are compiled and working), where CREATE.INDEX gives the following error: I-descriptor must be compiled before execution. I-descriptor must be compiled before execution. I-descriptor must be compiled before execution. Program "*UVPRINTMSG": pc = 34, Variable previously undefined. Zero length string used. [000000] All seven fields are working just fine as indices on the original file that was a Static Hashed file. I'm setting up the Distributed File to get around the 2GB limit issues. Does anyone know of any limitations putting secondary indices onto distributed files? Thanks!
