Details

The NOBYINDEX server parameter takes precedence over other SPD Server options that affect index use for BY sorts. That is, when NOBYINDEX is set, users cannot enable BY sorts to use an index. When BYINDEX is set, users can suppress index use for BY sorts with the SPDSNBIX macro variable, the SPDSNIDX macro variable, or the NOINDEX= table option.
