DICTKDF Fields
DICTKDF (Key Definition File) contains one record for each key assignment defined in
the schema; that is, one record for each alternate and primary key (structured files) or
one record for each SEQUENCE IS field. Each KDF record describes the key and
provides a link back to the element in DICTOBL that defines the key field.
