/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb PASCAL, Miscellaneous, CDD Directive  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The %DICTIONARY directive  allows  access  to  data  definitions
  stored  in  the  CDD/Repository, which is a product that must be
  purchased  separately  and  may  not  be   available   on   your
  environment.

  Syntax:

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

  The 'cdd-path-name' is a character string  that  represents  the
  full  or  relative  path  name of a CDD record description to be
  extracted.  The resulting path name must conform  to  the  rules
  for forming CDD path names.

  A full path name is one that begins with CDD$TOP  and  specifies
  the  names  of all its descendants; it is a complete path to the
  record definition.  Descendant names  are  separated  from  each
  other by a period.

  A relative path name  begins  with  any  generation  other  than
  CDD$TOP,  and  specifies the names of the descendants after that
  point.  You can create a relative path by establishing a default
  directory with a logical name.

  The /LIST qualifier indicates  that  the  included  declarations
  should  be printed in the listing of the program if a listing is
  being generated.  If not specified, the default is determined by
  compilation   switches.    Use   of   this  parameter  overrides
  compilation switches.

  Example:
     TYPE
        %DICTIONARY 'CDD$TOP.CORPORATE.SALARY_RANGE'

  The definition of 'CDD$TOP.CORPORATE.SALARY_RANGE' is placed  in
  a program at the position of the TYPE declaration.
