Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries
Dave is correct, this technique will work with a DIALOG.DEFN. You can embed any
SB+ expression within () in a DISP string (DISP 4 aka DIALOG or any of the
other types 1-9) and the processor will evaluate the expression before
displaying the value (and without interpreting backslashes).
/DIALOG.DEFN (Tools,Other,Dialog Box Defs) is the way to set up a dialog
definition. This will allow you to use DISP 4, 'DIALOG_ID' (where DIALOG_ID is
the name of your definition) in a process.
DISP 4, ... is same as: CALL SB.DISP(4,'DIALOG_ID') or EXEC DIALOG,DIALOG_ID or
even CALL SB.PROCESS('DIALOG,DIALOG_ID') depending if your calling context is a
PROCESS or SUBROUTINE.
Have a look at the SB+ Ref PDF - page 4-60 for more information.

Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries
Hi Satya, In summary, D type records define data fields V type records define calculated items PH type records are phrases that a) provide short forms for other items b) define elements of an association c) define the default set of fields to be shown in a report X type records store miscellaneous items. To describe these fully would take a lot of explanation. You can find details in the manuals. Better still, enrol for a training course.

Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries
UniData Dictionaries Every UniData data file has a corresponding dictionary file. A dictionary contains a set of records that define the structure of the records in the data file, called D-type records. A dictionary may also contain phrases, called PH-type records, and items that calculate or manipulate data, called virtual fields, or V-type records. A user may also define a dictionary item to store user-defined data, called X-type records.

Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries
Personally I've never used the X type record. I suppose they could be used for things like a NEXT counter. That way any automated routines can avoid the X entries when building a Dictionary Table. -Original Message- From: Martin Phillips martinphill...@ladybridge.com To: 'U2 Users List' u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Wed, Jun 20, 2012 10:18 am Subject: Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries Hi Satya, In summary, D type records define data fields V type records define calculated items PH type records are phrases that a) provide short forms for other items b) define elements of an association c) define the default set of fields to be shown in a report X type records store miscellaneous items.

Also, keep in mind, those record types are only in the VOC file.

Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries
Hi Dan, I just read your tips and hints and saw something I never knew: UniQuery and the single quote UniQuery simply cannot handle quote marks in a search string. It takes one look at them and jumps overboard screaming. In most situations this wouldn't be an issue, but in the times where it is it can be downright annoying. How irritating that would be, especially if you didn't know about it! I had to go and check Jbase to make sure that wasn't happening. Fortunately it wasn't. Learn something new every day. :-) When there's nothing new left to learn, just start shoveling in the dirt.

Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries
Martin has some good explanations on: www.openqm.com/docs Just do a search for dictionaries. I actually go there half the time instead of searching through the U2 manuals. Much faster when it comes to standard stuff in Multivalue (whatever that means).

Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries
Satya, The one thing that I would do, even though they are the same, is to use the 'I'-type instead of the 'V'-type. The reason why is for compatibility with other systems that only have the 'I'-type, like I have used before.
