Re: INDEX VS Logical File

im so sorry
Logical File
A *$PMCCMSG I SST($PMCMSG1 1 7) *
A K *$PMCCMSG *
A K $PMCDTEV
A S $PMCSITU COMP(EQ 'P')
A $PMCDEST COMP(NE 'CG')

INDEX FILE CREATED
CREATE INDEX CONSOLE_MESSAGES_$P_4 FOR SYSTEM NAME $PMCONS4
ON CONSOLE_MESSAGES_$P (*$PMCCMSG *ASC, SEND_DATE ASC)
WHERE (STATUS = 'P' AND RECIPIENT <> 'CG')
RCDFMT RMCONS4;

And this was my tries

CREATE INDEX CONSOLE_MESSAGES_SENT_$P_4 FOR SYSTEM NAME $PMCONS4

ON CONSOLE_MESSAGES_SENT_$P (MESSAGE_FIRST_LEVEL(7), SEND_DATE ASC)

WHERE (STATUS = 'P' AND RECIPIENT <> 'CG')

RCDFMT RMCONS4;


CREATE INDEX CONSOLE_SENT_MESSAGES_$P_4 FOR SYSTEM NAME $PMCONS4

ON CONSOLE_SENT_MESSAGES_$P AS (MESSAGE_CODE FOR
SUBSTRING(MESSAGE_FIRST_LEVEL,1,7) ASC,
SEND_DATE ASC)

WHERE (STATUS = 'P' AND RECIPIENT <> 'CG')

RCDFMT RMCONS4;

CREATE INDEX CONSOLE_SENT_MESSAGES_$P_4 FOR SYSTEM NAME $PMCONS4

ON CONSOLE_SENT_MESSAGES_$P MESSAGE_CODE AS
SUBSTRING(MESSAGE_FIRST_LEVEL,1,7)
(MESSAGE_CODE ASC, SEND_DATE ASC)

WHERE (STATUS = 'P' AND RECIPIENT <> 'CG')

RCDFMT RMCONS4;

Sorry for my bad advice from earlier.
I looked at the basic CREATE INDEX at
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=statements-create-index and the
very last example is
CREATE INDEX DEPT_TYPE
ON DEPARTMENT (SUBSTR(DEPTNO,2,2))
