The next step is to remove the "bang file" (the file containing the index entries). This is almost certainly the file that has been corrupted and which needs to be rebuilt. To remove the "bang file", do the following:
Open the System Editor.
Delete the indexed table. Type, at the Exec: line:
run delete_table '!CUSTOMERS'
- Exit the System Editor.
If you run the Database Manager and examine the indexes, it appears that all the indexes have been removed. However, there is some dictionary cleanup that needs to be done before this is truly so.
