Dictionary-Manipulation Statements
Data Definition Language (DDL) Reference Manual—529431-004
8-7
OUTPUT UPDATE
The statements in Example 8-8 on page 8-7 cause the DDL compiler to generate
COBOL data descriptions for all constants in the dictionary, one token type, and two
token codes. These descriptions are written to the open COBOL source code file,
spitkn.
Rather than specify a list of the particular constants needed by the token type and
token code, Example 8-8 on page 8-7 generates source code for all the constants in
the dictionary.
OUTPUT UPDATE
The OUTPUT UPDATE statement generates DDL source code that updates every
referenced object in the open dictionary and writes this code to the open DDL source
code file for subsequent compilation.
constant-name
is the name of a constant in the open dictionary. You can specify constant-name
up to 50 times.
