DICTIONARY 3000

ALTER 

Changes an option used when generating data declarations from the
Dictionary.

Syntax 

     ALTER subcommand 
     A

Use the ALTER command to change the default options for generating data
declarations for the entities extracted from the Dictionary.
The subcommand identifies the option to be changed.  Each ALTER
command-subcommand generates a prompt that allows you to specify how an
option is to be changed, except for the ALTER ALL command-subcommand.
ALTER ALL generates all the prompts which are issued for the other
subcommands.

A complete list of subcommands is given below.
