DICTOTF (Object Text File)
DICTOTF (Object Text File) is a key-sequenced file that contains all of the text items
associated with a schema. Each text block is assigned a unique text ID that links
objects and elements to their associated text items in DICTOTF.
DICTOTF is different on G-series and H-series systems—see:
Figure D-13, DICTOTF (Object Text File)—G-Series, on page D-41
Figure D-14, DICTOTF (Object Text File)—H-Series, on page D-42
Change bars in Figure D-14 on page D-42 show where it differs from Figure D-13 on
page D-41.
These tables apply to both G-series and H-series systems:
