Restricted IDXBUILD fails after 2748

When a restricted IDXBUILD commandline Option using "table" or "schema" is interrupted, a rerun fails with error 14624 and the .xb file is deleted

When the equivalent restricted IDXBUILD run through the Index Build Menu is interupted, a rerun succeeds

The exact cause is not known at this time. This issue appears to have been introduced with the DatabaseTable Partitioning feature since OpenEdge 11.4 when IDXBUILD is run with restricted commandline options on non-partitioned tables

Upgrade to the current OpenEdge 11.7.LTS Update. IDXBUILD with restricted commandline options (table, area, schema) no longer fail. While this defect was not explicitly fixed, it no longer fails in current 11.7 versions.

1. Optionally, use the IDXBUILD Menu Options instead of command line restricted options (area, table, schema, activeindexes, inactiveindexes)
2. Use the Workaround below to recover from failure to re-run a command line  interrupted restricted IDXBUILD

After a failed re-run of a command line interrupted restricted IDXBUILD, before re-running IDXBUILD create a complete .xb file for the indexes that were previously involved.

Manually creating the dbname.xb file:

• The file needs to have <dbname>.xb for the file name. Example: sports2000.xb 
• This <dbname>.xb file must exist in the working directory where the IDXBUILD command is going to be issued. When the IDXBUILD utility is run, it looks in the current directory for the <dbname.xb> file. 
• The contents of the <dbname>.xb file has the following format which needs to be repeated for all tables and indexes associated with the failed IDXBUILD. 

tableowner
tablename
indexname

• The file also needs to have an "!" exclamation mark for the final entry and a new line. 
• When the IDXBUILD utility is rerun, it will locate the <dbname>.xb file and display to the screen all tables and indexes which need to be rebuilt then prompt for approval prior to starting the IDXBUILD.  It will then ask for information regarding sort space and then proceed with the rebuild.
• On successful completion of a subset index rebuild the <dbname>.xb file is deleted.

Example: sports2000.xb file:
PUB
customer
name
PUB
customer
custnum
PUB
order
custorder
PUB
order
orderdate
