can alternate index use in ESDS since it does not contain
primary index? if yes can you explain?
Answer Posted / shriram supalwar
Alternate index is possible in ESDS but only in
On-line mode using RBA (Relative Byte Address)
- Accessing of records through RBA is faster than
accessing through index field
- It can be dangerous, since RBA can be altered
through control interval/control area split
