make it the MSS primary. This option attaches
PROGRESS_RECID to the end of the index component

designation.

clustered index selection does not qualify for ROWID
designation because it lacks uniqueness. This option
attaches PROGRESS_RECID to the end of the index
component sequence so that uniqueness and ROWID
designation are achieved.
