/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb FORTRAN, Statements, DICTIONARY  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  At compile time, incorporates Oracle Common Data Dictionary
  (CDD/Repository) data definitions into the current Fortran source file.
  The DICTIONARY statement can appear anywhere in a Fortran source file
  that a specification statement is allowed.  Statement format:

     DICTIONARY 'cdd-path [/[NO]LIST]'

     cdd-path   The full or relative pathname of a Common
                Data Dictionary object.  The resulting pathname
                must conform to the rules for forming Common
                Data Dictionary pathnames. The object must be
                a record description.

     /[NO]LIST  Directs the compiler to include (or not include)
                the resulting Fortran source representation in
                the program listing.  /LIST and /NOLIST must be
                spelled completely.

  In the following example, the logical name definition specifies the
  beginning of the CDD pathname; thus, a relative pathname specifies
  the remainder of the path to the record definition:

     $ DEFINE CDD$DEFAULT CDD$TOP.FOR

  The following examples show how a CDD pathname beginning with
  CDD$TOP overrides the default CDD pathname.  Consider a record with
  the pathname CDD$TOP.SALES.JONES.SALARY.  If you defined
  CDD$DEFAULT to be CDD$TOP.SALES.JONES, you could then specify a
  relative pathname:

     DICTIONARY 'SALARY'

  Alternatively, you could specify a full pathname:

     DICTIONARY 'CDD$TOP.SALES.JONES.SALARY'
