BRWDIC File.   

This is the BRWDIC file that describes the TOYDB. You do not need a data
dictionary to run the tutorial.  See the HP ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual 
for a description of data dictionaries and the BRWDIC file.  The BRWDIC
file is called BRWDIC, and is held in group PUB.ITF3000.

Database TOYDB.   

This is a HP TurboIMAGE/iX database, with six data sets containing the
following records:

CUSTOMERS                                                                     8 records

ORDER-MASTER                                                                 10 records

ORDERS                                                                       11 records

PRODUCTS                                                                     10 records

INVOICES                                                                       1 record

ORDER-DETAILS                                                                10 records

INVOICES and ORDER-MASTER are not used in the tutorial examples.  The
data sets are:

TOYDB (root file), TOYDB01, TOYDB02, TOYDB03, TOYDB04, TOYDB05, and
TOYDB06.  They are held in group PUB.ITF3000.

There are no passwords or access restrictions to the TOYDB database.

The database creator is MGR.

Amending the TOYDB 

You can add or amend records in the TOYDB, for example using QUERY, but
if you do so, you can spoil the output of the task reports.  Therefore,
if you wish to add or amend records, please copy the TOYDB and work on
the copy.
