VMS Help MERGE, Specification File Qualifiers, /CDD_PATH_NAME  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Identifies fields and attributes defined for use with the
    Common Data Dictionary (CDD/Plus). Once the fields have been
    identified, they can then be used later with other specification
    file qualifiers, such as /KEY, /CONDITION, /INCLUDE, or /OMIT.

    You can use the /CDD_PATH_NAME qualifier only if your system has
    CDD/Plus installed.

    Format

      /CDD_PATH_NAME="cdd-path-name"

1 - Qualifier Values

 "cdd-path-name"

    Specifies the CDD/Plus record definition within CDD/Plus.

2 - Full Description

    /CDD_PATH_NAME can be used in place of or in conjunction with
    /FIELD statements. The /CDD_PATH_NAME qualifier identifies
    CDD/Plus defined fields and attributes for SORT. Identifying
    these fields with this qualifier is the same as specifying them
    with the /FIELD qualifier.

3 - Example

  /CDD_PATH_NAME="customer"

      The /CDD_PATH_NAME qualifier identifies the customer record,
      which was previously identified in CDD/Plus.
