Also, if you force your codes to be written to the table in uppercase (if applicable) you will not need UPPER() in index expression

>If the expression is "fully optimized", it looks like you have an index on alltrim(upper(ino)), etc. This might be a problem; an index expression can not have a variable length! For full optimization, try changing to some expression that has a fixed length, like a space-padded expression. See padr().
>
>If the fields have trailing spaces, you don't need alltrim() for the filter: upper(bcode) = "AW" will return all records that begin with "AW" (but please check: SET EXACT).
>
>Also, check how many records are returned for each individual part of the expression: upper(ino), upper(bcode), upper(loccode). If one of these expressions returns too many records (say, more than a thousand), delete the corresponding index.
