| Overview | The Visual
Dictionary™ utility is designed to provide a simple
means by which a data dictionary can be defined for a
data file. While it primary use is targeted at defining
the data dictionary for existing files easier, it can
also be used to maintain basic data dictionary
information for any file. When a file is opened by the Visual Dictionary, the system will present grid with the first 25 records of the file based on what it can determine as the data dictionary layout for the file. While the actual contents of the file cannot be changed, the user may change each field's name, format and description. Once changed, the new dictionary can then be written to the file and optionally loaded into the systems data dictionary. |
