E Dictionary Reports
HP supplies a set of Enform Plus queries that you can use to get information about any
dictionary. These queries produce a set of reports that provide the following
information:
•
A list of all the objects in the dictionary, including any constants, definitions,
records, and Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) token codes, token maps,
and token types.
•
A description of the structure of each definition and record.
•
A list of the records and definitions that refer to definitions and of the definitions
that are referenced by records and other definitions.
•
Information on all records in the dictionary, their key fields, and how they are
defined.
•
A list of all the comment, display, and heading text for any definition or record that
has such text.
In addition to the standard reports, you can produce customized reports, tailored to
answer specific questions, by editing the Enform Plus source code supplied by HP.
This appendix explains how you can obtain dictionary reports.

Reports
The Enform Plus source code for the dictionary reports is stored in the file
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.DDQUERYS.
For any of the standard reports summarized in Table E- 1
on page E-2, use the source
code as is. For customized reports, copy DDQUERYS to your own subvolume and edit
your copy.
DDQUERYS contains source code for 16 Enform Plus queries that produce 16
different dictionary reports. Each query is a separate section. You can run the queries
as a complete group, individually, or in any combination.
