All dictionary files are key-sequenced except DICTDDF, which is unstructured.
The dictionary is itself a database. HP supplies the DDL schema for the dictionary
database in the following file:
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.DDSCHEMA
In the following topics, the record definitions for the dictionary database files are fully
expanded to show the field descriptions. The field names and structures are the same
as those used in DDSCHEMA for the data dictionary. Some field descriptions are
expanded from referenced definitions.
DICTALT (Alternate Key File)
DICTALT (Alternate Key File) contains keys for:
•
DICTKDF (Key Definition File) on page D-8
•
DICTOBL (Object Build List) on page D-15
•
DICTODF (Object Definition File) on page D-37
•
DICTRDF (Record Definition File) on page D-47
DICTCDF (Constant Definition File)
DICTCDF (Constant Definition File) is a key-sequenced file that contains one CDF
record for each constant in the dictionary. The CDF record links the constant with the
constant text in the DICTOTF (Object Text File).
DICTCDF is different on G-series and H-series systems—see:
•
Figure D-1, DICTCDF (Constant Definition File)—G-Series, on page D-5
•
Figure D-2, DICTCDF (Constant Definition File)—H-Series, on page D-5
Change bars in Figure D-2
on page D-5 show where it differs from Figure D-1 on
page D-5.
Table D-2, DICTCDF (Constant Definition File) Fields,
on page D-6, applies to both
G-series and H-series systems.
