Cursor Size (-cs)
n
The cursor size, which is the number of index levels.
Use Cursor Size (-cs) to change the maximum number of index levels. You seldom need to use this parameter.
Progress indexes have a tree structure. Even large indexes typically are no deeper than three or four levels. Index cursors, which act as place holders during file access, have size 6 by default; that is, they support up to five levels of indirect access. Therefore, few users ever require the Cursor Size (-cs) parameter. However, in rare cases involving large index keys, increase -cs in response to the following error message:
Increasing -cs by 2 should be sufficient.
