Not sure if this would work in UV or not, but in mvBase you can stick the
dict into the MD and use it for any file. See entry *A1 below:
*A1
001 A
002 1
003 Attr. 1
004
005
006
007
008
009 L
010 15
If that doesn't work, you could try the not very well known 'USING DICT'
phrase, like:
LIST TEMP USING DICT ALL.FIELDS F1 F2 F3

Subject: [U2] Bad DICTionary Attributes
I would like to see what is in field 8 for several data dictionaries.
I need a command like...
LIST DICT INVOICE WITH <FIELD 8> LIKE "M"
but I need help with syntax on the <Field 8> part.
Now that I am writing this e-Mail, I suppose that I could write a little
UniBasic program.
We have a bug here where it looks like somebody put an "M" into field 8 in
several dictionaries. UniVerse v8.x does not seem to care, UniVerse v10.1
comes back with error messages like...
UniVerse/SQL: Conversion "MD3," is incompatible with an INTEGER datatype
The burden is that I have to wade through all the dictionary items with an
MD3 characteristic (sometimes there dozens). Once I fix the "MD3" item, it
may come back with...
UniVerse/SQL: Conversion "MD1," is incompatible with an INTEGER datatype
Then, I start over. Both I-Descriptors and D-Descriptors appear to exhibit
the problem.
There is also a lot of stuff in fields 9 thru say 14 of many of these
dictionaries. It is not clear to me why these attributes are populated.
Further suggestions would be appreciated.
