Dictionary Database Structure
An explanation of each field follows:
OBJECT the object number, a system-assigned number that uniquely identifies
each object within the dictionary.
Each object corresponds to exactly one identifier.
IDENTIFIER a unique identifier of each object in the dictionary, consisting of the
next two fields:
OBJ-TYPE a 2-byte field that has one of the following values:
Value
CD
ID
RD
TT
TC
TM
SR
SV
RQ
SC
The last four values (SR, SV, RQ, and SC) are object types defined and used
in Pathmaker applications.
NAME a 30-byte field containing the object's name, which must be unique
within the type.
Object names must begin with an alphabetic character. A dash (-) can be used
as a word separator within a name. Records and definitions cannot have the
same name.
VERSION an integer value that is incremented every time the object is updated in
this dictionary.
Because DDL does not allow partial updating of an object, VERSION reflects how
many times the object has been compiled since the dictionary was created.
DATE-CREATED a 6-byte timestamp taken from the system when the object is
added to the dictionary.
CREATOR-USERID a group field that describes the user ID of the person who
created this dictionary.
