How could I search for Progress standard procedure?

[alvin]

Progress provides many standard procedures for data administration. Such as we can run prodict/load_df.p to load data definition file directly in our code, other than using Data Dictionary's menu.
But how can I find these standard procedures? I have search the tech docs but failed.

PS. Is there some procedure for index rebuilding, other than using "proutil idxbuild"?

Thanks so much!!

The procedures are in pl files in DLC\src\prodict, assuming (I think) you have full development licenses.

See KB 14061

I don't think so (calling index rebuild direct through 4GL, apart from implied rebuild on data load you mentioned above), but you can generate a script in 4GL to call your rebuild by reading the _File and _Index tables.

See eg. KB P86713, 16652
