I am using the -o flag so I can use the demand index for the next step
in the processing.  

I didn't use the -iA flag on the first line to select an index so I'm
guessing it is just going by record number then?  

My processing is seems to be working fine, I was just wondering what is
happening behind the scenes.

Thanks,
Chris
