Since one of my free tools has already come up in the discussion :)
For my various versions of IMPORT (including BCI.IMPORT) dictionaries are
used for two reasons:
1. to identify which fields to update in each source
You would use the dictionary item to know WHERE to put the data in U2
which file, attribute etc. if you are talking multi-values (or "deeper")
then this could also be driven from the dictionary, which would provide you
with the capability of performing some "mapping"
