Message on the screen while indexing

The message on the screen while indexing is

CREATE INDEX FILE IN PROGRESS

Is there a way to force BR to also include the file name in this message?

I do not believe that that ability currently exists in the INDEX facility.

I use FNINDEX in FNSNAP to build the index and display the message that I want, which is usually something like

REBUILDING MASTER FILE INDEX BY NAME

While the index is being built

Mikhail,

Just direct the screen output of the index command to a temp file. Then you won't see the default "CREATE INDEX" message. You can print whatever message you'd like now.

Wouldn't you just do a -N on the Index so you don't get any output rather than piping the output to a file?

Also with GUI ON you wouldn't ever see the message anyway. So I really am thinking printing your own filename out there to alert the users is a better option at this point anyway.
