Veering a little off-topic here!

I've not used the unidata dev environment although I edit my programs in
a windows editor, in common with almost all the programmers here, and
have tools to quickly identify and compile up any modified source files,
plus loads of other bespoke bits and pieces that make development
relatively straightforward & efficient. It works well for me and I
suspect a lot of Pick developers are in a similar solution. There's
something to be said for if it aint broke don't fix it.

Also, fundamentally, unless tools like the unidata dev environment are
dangled right in front of our noses and we're told to use them (or
else!) then we're unlikely to seek them out. This was the case with
Subversion - a success btw.

Maybe the original poster would let us know if the suggestions so far
have helped, and if not a little more direction on what he's trying to
do?

Correct, I have not used either.

but even if they do allow creation, you still have to know what the data
is,
  it's purpose in life to accurately define a dict item.

Do those programs also scan the entire file to determine what the
highest attribute
   number is? (I use an idesc "dcount(@record,char(254))", then list the
file by.dsnd)
   otherwise, he may have more than 3 hidden fields.
