HP SYSTEM DICTIONARY XL SDMAIN

Dictionary Environment Commands 

The first step after issuing the RUN SDMAIN.PUB.SYS command is to open
the dictionary and define the environment.  The environment of System
Dictionary consists of four parts:

 *  Dictionary environment

 *  Output environment

 *  Input environment

 *  SDMAIN environment

The dictionary environment commands define the four environments as shown
below.  Any user of the dictionary can use these commands with the
dictionary open in any mode.  The specific syntax for each of these
commands is shown in Chapter 4, "System Dictionary Commands" .
