Prompts
The following prompt is issued when the command-subcommand ALTER TEXT is
entered:
GENERATE COMMENTS (N/Y)>
GENERATE COMMENTS (N/Y)> Enter Y to generate comment lines which
describe the entities extracted from the
Dictionary. These comment lines are written to
the output file along with the data
declarations and, if specified, the string
constants generated for the file names.

generated unless Y is entered in response to
this prompt.
Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt
indicates that no comment lines are generated
for the extracted entities from the Dictionary.

ALTER TEXT allows you to generate additional code for the entities
extracted from the Dictionary in the form of comment lines. These
comment lines include the following information about the extracted
entity:
entity name of the entity extracted from the
Dictionary.
entity-name the entity long-name (as it was entered in
DICTDBM).
entity-resp the name of the person, department, or area
responsible for the integrity of the entity.
date-change the date of the latest change made to the
entity in the Dictionary.
date-create the date the entity was created in the
Dictionary.
identity-change the identity of the person, department, or area
that made the last change to the entity in the
Dictionary.

that created the entity in the Dictionary.
