DEFINE ALTERNATEINDEX. Important paramters are RELATE where
you specify the base cluster name, KEYS,
RECORDSIZE,SHAREOPTIONS,UNIQUEKEY(or NONUNIQUEKEY), DATA(ds
name for the data component), INDEX(ds name for the index
component). Then DEFINE PATH. Important paramters are NAME
(ds name for the path), PATHENTRY (ds name of the alternate
index name), UPDATE(or NOUPDATE) which specifies whether an
alt index is updated when a update to the base cluster takes
place. Then BLDINDEX. Parameters are INDATASET(ds name of
base cluster), OUTDATASET(ds name of AIX).
