A-Shell Development History

ISMDMP.LIT 2.0(134) recognizes the new index values and reports them, via a new switch /V (verbose), i.e.:

ISMDMP TEST/V

(/V also assumes TTY: output mode, saving you from having to enter "TTY:" in order to display the header info.)

Note that as with ISMBLD, the numbers reported are based on calculations using the number of records allocated, key size, block size, and levels (and does not show the actual configuration, which would require a delay to scan the IDX blocks; that option may be added later).

ISMDMP also indicates if the IDX was built using features that require a certain version of A-Shell, e.g.:

.ISMDMP TEST/V

Size of data record:    16

Size of dir entry:      14

Size of dir block:      1024

Size of key:            10

Type of key:            200 (A-Shell - requires 5.1.1122+)

Entries per dir block:  72

Index levels:           4

Count by level:         1,3,198,14223

etc.
