AREV Specific

Don't remember which ver but before 3.12, when I did a ListDict Table (p)

I got a nice formatted output shown below.

if field is a Data Dict Type then (shorted to fit)

Field Name T FMC SM Just Len Output Pattern Index Descr

———- — — — —- — ————– —– ————-

BlaBla F 0 S L 4

if field is a symbolic then

Field Name T FMC SM Just Len

BlaBla S S L 10
         001  Rbasic Code for that Symbolic field
         002  formatted like a truncated BLIST output.
         003  like this.
Any Ideas how to get this back.

Thanks

Yes, downgrade to v1.x

I hate that version, I don't like six feet or more of output on continuous form paper. Some dictionaries are symbolic heavy.

Hint: Try

SELECT DICT myfile WITH TYPE EQ 'S' BY @ID

BLIST DICT.myfile

good hint, but I am wanting to print several tables both F & S types and all formatted like it did before.

but you did give me another hint. can a older version of V45 be used.

and if so how can I get my hands (hdd) on it.

figures just last month i deleted all old 2.x backups to do some house cleaning.. I should know better.

You could just modify the LISTDICT.REP dictionary item in DICT.VOC to display exactly what you want, as you want it.

That probably better than moving in code from older versions.

I, too, used the v1.1 version in all later DOS versions.

Wish I had it for Arev32. The LISTDICT.REP format

just didn't do it for me.

The key is the older one (think its 2.x) works.

Which allows me to continue house cleaning & application revamp in preparation to see if arev32 might work for us.

When Mike took over I bought into the works program just to make sure I could help out with the revenue stream. But after the downturn in the economy I had to drop the works membership. Now its time to look into doing upgrades :) :(..

I remember years ago one of the staff was giving a presentation on various operator duties. She handed out some documentation describing the various daily processes that needed to be performed. One of the utilities in the document was LOOKDICT. Unfortunately for her, she replaced the T with a K. Boy was she embarrassed!
