i
The relative number of the buffer table’s index for which you want information.

buffCustHdl = BUFFER Customer:HANDLE.
IndexVar = buffCustHdl:INDEX-INFORMATION(3).
The returned string would look like: “CustNum,1,1,0,CustNum,0" which means that the third index in the Customer table is called “CustNum”. It is unique and primary, and is not a word index and it consists of one ascending component, CustNum.
