Chapter 4 DICTDBM COMMANDS
OVERVIEW
A set of commands is provided by the Dictionary's DICTDBM program, which
are used to create and maintain entries in a data Dictionary. These
commands are used with a subcommand to identify the entity that receives
the action of the command. Each command-subcommand used, generates a
series of interactive prompts which allows you to enter the necessary
data for each entry. This section contains the reference specifications
for each command, along with the subcommands and prompts used with the
command.
Table 4-1 gives a summary of the DICTDBM commands with a brief
description of their function.
