Re: Lag time on Index file add- followup

Access path immediate means that as records are added, changed or removed from a
file, they are immediately reflected in the index. If a file (physical or 
logical
) is open, the access path for the file is maintained immediate. If you specify 
a
access path of delayed on a logical associated with a physical file, it will not
me maintained until that logical file is opened. Depending on the number of
changes to a access path, it may be completely rebuilt on open if *DLY is
specified.
