REORGDB does not show Index names in the option to reorganise an Index - K4000027 - 20 Feb 2001

If you select the option to reorganise an index you are asked for table name, and then an index name. If you leave the entry field blank to select an index from a pop-up window, the list is blank when REORGDB is run in the 4.6xx environment.

This problem is an instance of the problems that can arise when using overlapping fields with 4.6xx. Unlike most programs REORGDB does not use an "item map" and map_glue() to populate its popup windows (it was one of the first DP4 programs written and still has some very old code).

The download is a revised version of the map it uses to display this pop-up, using embedded data items instead of overlapping fields. When posted to the system database using MAPPOST it will cure the problem. A similar technique may often be used when converting 4.5xx programs that use overlapped fields to run with 4.6xx

DP4 Products/Versions Affected

4.6xx

Where the version affected is given as 4.5xx or 4.6xx, all versions of DP4 issued prior to the date of the fix are potentially affected. Where a specific version number is given the problem was introduced by that release and prior releases are unaffected. If a patch release number is also specified (in parentheses) , the fault was introduced at that specific patch level.
