The program does not touch the dict,  it does a direct read against every row 
in the table and summarises what literal columns are in use. The dict of a file 
may miss some columns and introduce new virtual columns.


I am a bit lost as to what it is that you are after - either way you probably 
need to right some basic code to get teh data from dict items or real data from 
inside the row or whatever it is you are trying to do...

This one doesn't seem to do what I wanted. Running it against the VOC
I get this:

>RUN ANALYSEFILE
ENTER FILE NAME :VOC

Analysis for 793 records of VOC

Finished.

It is still a helpful suggestion because it obviously visits the dic
and extracts useful information pertaining to the schema.
