DDL Compiler Commands

EDIT Command
dict-subvol-name
is a dictionary subvolume name in this form:
[\node-name.][$volume-name.][subvolume-name]
If
dict-subvol-name
is omitted, DDL uses the current system, volume, and
subvolume. If
node-name
is omitted, DDL uses the current system; if
volume-
name
is omitted, the current volume; and if
subvolume-name
is omitted, the
current subvolume.
DICTR Command Guidelines
The following points are guidelines for using the DICTR command:
•
If there is no dictionary on the specified subvolume, DDL issues a warning
message and continues.
•
DDL ignores the NOSAVE command when a dictionary is opened with DICTR.
Only one dictionary can be open at a time. If you use the DICTR command when
you already have a dictionary open, DDL closes the current dictionary before
opening the specified dictionary.
DICTR Command Example
This command opens the dictionary on $DATA.SALES for read-only access:
?DICTR $data.sales
EDIT Command
The EDIT command instructs the DDL compiler to:
•
Suspend execution of DDL
•
Start an EDIT process
•
Resume DDL execution when the EDIT process stops
You can use EDIT only in an interactive DDL session.
EDIT
suspends DDL execution and st
arts an EDIT process.
edit-file-name
identifies an EDIT file. If you omit
edit-file-name
, DDL uses the last e
dit-
file-name
and the last
edit-parameter
, if any, specified in the current
DDL session.
EDIT [ edit-file-name [ ; edit-parameter ] ... ]
