Thanks Jerry...

I have not tried it yet to see how ODBC, JDBC, SQL handles VM.  Advance info 
would be appreciated.

To use the dictionary in any of the SQL environments you should use a clean 
dictionary that doesn't have any characters that would break SQL. 
This can be done by creating a separate field just used for SQL with no 
characters that will break SQL or if you currently don't use the dictionary 
much, to change all of your items to conform. That includes using "D" and "I" 
types instead of "A" and "S" types. Another way is to have a separate 
dictionary and use the "USING" option when using a select or sort.
