Description
The new synonym refers to the same attribute list as the entity primary name and applies to all versions of
the entity.
You can use synonyms only to directly reference an entity (a relationship) in the dictionary. You cannot use
them to do qualified retrievals using the reporting commands. Accordingly, the name reported for the
entity in a qualified retrieval is always the primary name.
Open Mode: Shared-update or exclusive-update
Scope: DA scope or the entity's owner scope. The scope with which the dictionary is open is
the owner of the synonym.
