LT-65: Searching RLIN: Major Indexes


Searching RLIN: Major Indexes

Scope

Most of these indexes are available in most of the "activities" (cat, aut, ill) and most of the files accessible from within each of those activities.
It is important, though, to use the sho ind (show indexes) <activity or file name> command to check out exactly what indexes are available in each database, activity, or file.
