Viewing Index File
« on: September 22, 2017, 12:14:45 PM »
I have a afp file that is failing to load due to a TSM issue. It passes indexing and generates the .out / .ind / .res files fine..

appears that the .ind file is a binary file..any quick way to view it?

The solution to your problem isn't in the index file if TSM is throwing errors.  Post your TSM-related error messages so we can help you fix that.  :)

I know  :)

This is more for my own knowledge. As far as my TSM error goes, we opened a PMR with IBM, sent them the system log, and we got back the fourth hit on google search for the error message.

THANKS !!!!!!

As I understand it, the ACIF index file is in AFP format.  You should be able to read it with anything that reads AFP -- like arsafpd.  :)
