ENABLE ATTRIBUTES
DICTIONARY Attribute
DICTIONARY Attribute
The DICTIONARY attribute identifies the location of the data
dictionary from which ENABLE is to obtain a record description.
The syntax of the DICTIONARY attribute is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| DICTIONARY { <subvolume> } |
| { $<volume>.<subvolume> } |
| { \<system>.$<volume>.<subvolume> } |
| |
| <subvolume> |
| |
| identifies the subvolume where the dictionary resides. |
| |
| $<volume> |
| |
| identifies the volume where the dictionary resides. |
| |
| \<system> |
| |
| identifies the system where the dictionary resides. |
| |
| This name must conform to the Tandem file name |
| conventions described in Section 5 under the heading: |
| "File Name Expansion." |
| |
| The starting value of the DICTIONARY attribute is the |
| system, volume, and subvolume in effect when you start |
| ENABLE. |
| |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Consideration
ENABLE can read record descriptions from several different
dictionaries within a session. ENABLE reads the record
description from the dictionary identified by the value of the
DICTIONARY attribute at the time a box is added.
