This option is only for COBOL users.

Adabas Pre-Compiler takes the default (Y or N) from the COBOL generation defaults in Predict. You can change the default by using the @OPTIONS statement or in the @ADADCL options providing that the database administrator allows such a change. If just INDEXED is specified it means INDEXED=Y. If INDEXED=Y, Adabas Pre-Compiler generates the definitions of periodic group and multiple value fields with the option INDEXED BY.

The index name is taken from Predict and if it is not defined, Adabas Pre-Compiler uses the same name of the array with a prefix of ‘I-‘.
