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.

Hi John, Thanks for the recommendation that Satya should look at the QM documentation.

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.

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
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.
