Parameters 

Dcb                       Required input; type = DcbType 
                          This parameter passes information about the
                          dictionary to this intrinsic.  It is
                          initialized by the SDOpen intrinsic.

NameMode                  Required input; type = Integer 
                          This parameter specifies the group of names
                          (internal or external) that the user wishes to
                          use.  Numerical values for the name modes are:
                             1.  = Internal names
                             2.  = External names

Status                    Output; type = StatusType 
                          This parameter contains information indicating
                          the success or failure of the intrinsic call.
                          This information is detailed in Table Table
                          3-1, located in Chapter 3 of this manual.
