PDICT

NAME

pdict - print data dictionary for RMSfile

SYNOPSIS

pdict [-adflns] datafile [ datafile ...]

DESCRIPTION

Pdict prints out the data dictionary for datafile. If no flags are given, only the field names are listed.

If the -a flag is used, the alias field names are also listed.

If the -n flag is used, the number of records is listed. If the -s flag is used, the record size (in bytes) is listed. The -f flag causes the file organization to be listed. Using the -s, -f, or -n flags suppresses the listing of field names.

The -l flag lists the output in long format. Using the -d flag lists the dictionary in a compressed form suitable for input to cdef(C-1).

If multiple files are given without the -l flag, the information for each file is preceded by the file name and followed by a blank line. Using the -l flag with multiple files causes the information for each file to be separated by a form feed.

All output is written to the standard output file.
