Exercise 2: Learning about Data Dictionaries
All data (except HP ALLBASE/SQL data) used in BRW reports must be
described in a dictionary file, called BRWDIC, which is created from a
data dictionary. Your system manager or database administrator are
probably responsible for the databases and data dictionaries on your
system. The BRWDIC file that comes with BRW already describes the TOYDB
data. Unless your system administrator has changed it, the BRWDIC file
is held in the PUB group of your ITF3000 account.
1. Before you begin this tutorial, make sure there is a file named
BRWDIC in the PUB group of the account you use for this tutorial.
2. If there is no BRWDIC file in your account, or if it does not
describe the TOYDB data, do ONE of the following:
a. Copy the file BRWDIC.PUB.ITF3000 into your account.
Or...
b. Create a text file containing the sample user-generated
script then run the BRWGEND program as described in the HP
ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual Chapter 18, pages 18-51 to
18-72 (revision pages dated 5/92).
