DICTIONARY
Syntax: DICTIONARY directory-name Placement: Place the DICTIONARY command before the REPORT command and before the INPUT command. Discussion: The DICTIONARY command gives the three-character directory name where the data dictionary (#CFILES) is located. This command is optional. If you do not use this command, The Reporter will search through the currently accessed directories (in their accessed order) looking for the first occurence of #CFILES.
If you work with more than one data dictionary, include the DICTIONARY command in your report to specify which dictionary should be used.
Example:
100 DICTIONARY DS2 200 INPUT CUSTOMER 300 REPORT 400 ...
In this report, the data dictionary (#CFILES) stored on directory DS2 will be used for this report. Prior to UTL version 7.04 the dictionary was represented in a file called #FILES.
