On 8.03 env, when I created ISAM files, there used to be two files, the actual data file and another with an .idx extension. 

I do not see the .idx files anymore on LSF9. Does anybody know how indexed files work now ? Is the index hidden in the file ?  Thanks.

I recall seeing that also, it matches our experience. I thought that was a function of the version of COBOL involved and not, specifically, the environment level
