UniData DICT File Basics

The DICT file is kind of like a schema for the table it's connected to. If we have the table aka file CLIENTS then there will be a DICT file for CLIENTS. We can simply list the column names, the fields using

LIST DICT CLIENTS

This only lists the fields, not the details. Think of each field as a file in it's own right and that file is editable. If I've LIST DICT CLIENTS I can see there is a field called FNAME. To see what is in FNAME

ED DICT CLIENTS FNAME

This will take you to the worst editor ever. type P to see the contents of the file.

Each line is a chunk of info. As yet you'll have to work out which each one is because I don't know the format (if there is one!).
