index isn't a literal command, it's part of the expr utility or builtin. Since many shells have it as a shell builtin, what features you get may depend on what shell you use.
You could try forcing it to use an external expr by giving expr's absolute path, i.e. /bin/expr

DBFDUMP(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation DBFDUMP(1)
NAME
dbfdump - Dump the record of the dbf file
FORMAT
dbfdump [options] files
where options are
--rs output record separator (default newline)
--fs output field separator (default colon)
--fields comma separated list of fields to print (default all)
--undef string to print for NULL values (default empty)
--memofile specifies unstandard name of attached memo file
--memosep separator for dBase III dbt's (default x1ax1a)
--nomemo do not try to read the memo (dbt/fpt) file
--info print info about the file and fields
with additional --SQL parameter, outputs the SQL create table
--version print version of the XBase library
--table output in nice table format (only available when
Data::ShowTable is installed, overrides rs and fs)
SYNOPSIS
dbfdump -fields id,msg table.dbf
dbfdump -fs=' : ' table
dbfdump --nomemo file.dbf
ssh user@host 'cat file.dbf.gz' | gunzip - | dbfdump -
DESCRIPTION
Dbfdump prints to standard output the content of dbf files listed. By default, it prints all fields, separated by colons, one record on a
line. The output record and column separators can be changed by switches on the command line. You can also ask only for some fields to be
printed.
The content of associated memo files (dbf, fpt) is printed for memo fields, unless you use the "--nomemo" option.
You can specify reading the standard input by putting dash (-) instead of file name.
