Page-Level Index Element (IEL) structured field

If INDEXOBJ=ALL is specified, ACIF creates an index object file with this format:

BDI
  IEL Groupname=G1
    TLE
    ...
      IEL Pagename=G1P1
        TLE
        ...
      ...
      IEL Pagename=G1Pn....
  ...
  IEL Groupname=Gn
    TLE
    ...
      IEL Pagename=GnP1
      ...
      IEL Pagename=GnPn
        TLE
        ...
EDI

This example contains IEL structured fields for both pages and groups. Notice that TLE structured fields are associated with both pages and groups. When ACIF does the actual indexing function, it supports page-level indexing if you are using enhanced ACIF indexing. See Enhanced indexing parameters.

An index object file that contains both page-level and group-level IEL structured fields can provide added flexibility and capability to applications that operate on the files that are created by ACIF. This type of index object file provides the best performance when you are using AFP Workbench Viewer to view a file.
