The same as you would with any other file - off the top :

open 'DICT','filename' to dfp else abortm 'Cant open dict filename'

execute 'SELECT DICT filename WITH TYPE="D"'
loop while readnext id
        writev id on dfp,id,4
repeat

Subject: [U2] Reading Dictionary Items

I would like read open a (large) dictionary, read the line items, and
write back the @ID field to Attribute <4> (the column heading) of each.

Syntax help would be appreciated.
