Prompts
The following prompts are issued when the command-subcommand ALTER ALL is
entered:
DICTIONARY NAME (current dictionary )>
DICTIONARY PASSWORD>

EXTRACT AS TYPE OR VAR (T/V)>
GENERATE COMMENTS (N/Y)>
GENERATE NAMES AS STRING CONSTANTS (N/Y)>|
GENERATE TABLES FOR VPLUS EXTRACTS (N/Y)>

When ALTER ALL is used, the above prompts are issued one at a time. (After a response is
made to one prompt, the next prompt is issued.) Note that the ALTER ALL
command-subcommand generates all the prompts issued for the other ALTER
subcommands. The following explains each of the above prompts in detail:
Discussion
DICTIONARY NAME (current
dictionary)> Enter the Dictionary name, group and account to be opened and used for
further code generation. DICTPDE displays the current Dictionary being
used in (current dictionary). Data and file definitions are extracted from
the new Dictionary specified until a new ALTER DICT
command-subcommand is used.
Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt indicates that the
Dictionary as displayed in (current dictionary) does not change. (The
password prompt will not be issued.)
If an invalid Dictionary is entered in response to this prompt, DICTPDE
will issue an error message and reprompt for the Dictionary name.
DICTPDE will continue to prompt for the Dictionary name until a valid
Dictionary name is entered or DICTPDE is terminated.
DICTIONARY
PASSWORD> Enter the Dictionary password for the new Dictionary to be used. The
password entered must grant at least REPORT level access to that
Dictionary. If the new Dictionary specified is the same as the previous
Dictionary, the password prompt will not be issued.
