I want to make some 'programatic' changes to the dictionaries (mostly column headings, conversions etc).

In OI how do I 'rebuild' the %FIELDS% record? Is there a DICTCOMPILE available?

In Arev I would simply delete the %fields% and rebuild the dictionaries.

Thanks

Ray,

AFAIK When you change DICT records, it (DICT.MFS) maintains %FIELDS%.

Cameron,

On further testing you are correct.

I wondered about this because we programatically changed conversions (there were catalyst calls from old arev). After clearing they 'seemed' to continue to appear in a new window.

I will check further and see what could be causing this

Thanks again
