The starting index number in the range of indexes for which you want to track access statistics.

Use Base Index (-baseindex) with Index Range Size (-indexrangesize) to specify the range of indexes for which you want to collect statistics. Access to the statistics is handled through the Virtual System Tables (VSTs). Index statistics are stored in the _IndexStat VST. See the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference for more information on virtual system tables. To obtain index numbers, use the following 4GL code:

FOR EACH _file:
     DISPLAY _file.file-filename.
     FOR EACH _index WHERE index.file-recid = RECID(file):
           DISPLAY _idx-num _index-name.
     END.
END. 

This results in the following output:

File-Name
filename

_idx-num Index-Name
     n1   index name1
     n2   index name2
     n3   index name3
