The Dictionary DICTPDE Utility
>ALTER NAME
>ALTER NAME
Changes the generated source code to include PASCAL string constants for the file names
extracted from the Dictionary.
Prompts
The following prompt is issued when the command-subcommand ALTER NAME is
entered:
GENERATE NAMES AS STRING CONSTANTS (N/Y)>
GENERATE NAMES AS STRING CONSTANTS
(N/Y)> Enter Y if PASCAL string constants are to be generated for the specified
file names extracted from the Dictionary. DICTPDE assumes that string
constants are not to be generated for the file names unless Y is entered in
response to this prompt.
Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt indicates that string
constants are not to be generated.
Discussion
ALTER NAME allows you to generate string constants for the specified file names
extracted from the Dictionary. The string constants are generated for the specified file
name only. If the specified file is a parent file, string constants are generated for the parent
file name only. String constants are not generated for the child files which are related to
the specified parent file.
Example
>alter name
GENERATE NAMES AS STRING CONSTANTS String constants will be
(N/Y)> y
generated for the subsequent
files generated.
