The Dictionary DICTPDE Utility
>ALTER ALL
If an invalid password is entered in response to this prompt, DICTPDE
will issue an error message and reprompt for the Dictionary password.
DICTPDE will continue to prompt for the Dictionary password until a
valid password is entered or DICTPDE is terminated.
When a new Dictionary name and valid password are entered, DICTPDE
closes the previous Dictionary used and opens the new Dictionary to be
used.
SOURCE OUTPUT FILE (current
output file)> Enter the name of the file to redirect output to. This output includes the
data declarations generated by DICTPDE and, if specified, the string
constants generated for the entity names. DICTPDE displays the current
output file as (current output file). (current output file) will be DICTOUT
unless otherwise specified by an earlier ALTER OUTPUT
command-subcommand or an MPE file equation was used to redirect
DICTOUT.
Output may be directed to a new or existing disc file (ASCII, fixed file of 80
bytes) or to the terminal. If the specified file is a new file, DICTPDE will
build the file for you. If the specified file already exists, DICTPDE will
issue a warning message and append the generated source code to the
existing contents of the specified file. To direct this output to the terminal
instead of to a disc file, enter $STDLIST in response to this prompt.
Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt indicates that the output
file does not change. This means that if no previous output file had been
specified by an ALTER OUTPUT command, then the output file would still
be DICTOUT. If a file had been specified by a previous ALTER OUTPUT
command, that file would remain the output file.
EXTRACT AS TYPE OR
VAR (T/V)> Enter T (or press [[RETURN]]) if the extracted data definitions are to be
generated as TYPE data declarations. Enter V if the data definitions
extracted are to be generated as VAR data declarations. Note that
DICTPDE assumes that the definitions are to be generated as TYPE
declarations unless V is entered in response to this prompt.
Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt indicates that the data
definitions are to be generated as TYPE data declarations.
GENERATE COMMENTS
(N/Y)> Enter Y to generate comment lines which describe the entities extracted
from the Dictionary. These comment lines are written to the output file
along with the data declarations and, if specified, the string constants
generated for the file names. DICTPDE assumes that comment lines are
not generated unless Y is entered in response to this prompt.
Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt indicates that no
comment lines are generated for the extracted entities from the Dictionary.
