Runs the OpenEdge Data Dictionary.
Note: Does not apply to SpeedScript programming.
Example
This
procedure runs the Data Dictionary if the user answers yes to a prompt:
r-dict.p
DEFINE VARIABLE ans AS LOGICAL NO-UNDO.
DISPLAY "Do you want to access the Dictionary?"
WITH ROW 7 COLUMN 20 NO-LABELS.
UPDATE ans.
IF ans THEN DICTIONARY.
|
Notes
- The
DICTIONARY statement is equivalent to RUN dict.p:
it runs the ABL procedure called dict.p. The
AVM uses the regular search rules to find the dictionary procedure.
The dictionary procedure is part of the ABL system software.
- The AVM Query/Run-time provides a restricted version of the
Data Dictionary.
- For more information on the Data Dictionary, see its on-line help.
