DICTOBL (Object Build List)
ENUM-DEF Contains the object number of the enumeration
definition specified in the ENUM clause of a bit map
item. For an item that is not a bit map, this field
contains the null value for OBJECT-NUMBER.
PASCALBOUND
(D-series systems only)
Contains the value of the lower bound, 0 or 1, for
Pascal arrays. 1 is the default.
INDEX-NAME Contains the index name specified in the INDEXED
BY attribute, padded with blanks.
EXTERNAL-SPECIFIED Contains the ASCII character Y (yes) if the element
is to be external. This attribute permits you to output
the EXTERNAL clause in COBOL. Only elements of
object name level can have this attribute. N (no) is
the default.
JUSTIFY Contains the ASCII character Y (yes) or N (no)
depending on whether the element is to be right
justified. N is the default.
JUSTIFY-INHERITED Contains the ASCII character Y (yes) if the element
is to be justified right because that attribute was
inherited from a definition, or N (no) if right
justification was specified on the line item by the
appropriate clause. N is the default.
SQLNULLABLE-SPECIFIED Contains the ASCII character Y (yes) if the line item
has the [NOT]SQLNULLABLE clause specified, or N
(no) if no such clause is specified. N is the default.
If the value of this field is Y, the value of the
SQLNULLABLE-FLAG field, described below,
indicates whether SQLNULLABLE or NOT
SQLNULLABLE is specified. (If the value of this field
is N and the value of the SQLNULLABLE-FLAG field
is Y, the indication is that the line item, although it
has no explicit SQL-nullability specification, is
nevertheless SQL-nullable because of a specification
at the group level above.)
INTERVAL-LEADING-PRECISION Contains the number of significant digits specified as
the start-field-precision of the SQL INTERVAL line
item. Only line items of data type SQL INTERVAL
use this field. The valid range for this value is 1
through 18. If no start-field-precision is
specified, the default value for this field is 2.
