If your starting from scratch, that would be a great. Standardization is always the best thing for oganization, but most Pick systems are made up of 20-30 years of programmers to came and went with differing styles. Maybe because of Pick's lack of organization enforcement - that is one of it's failings - it puts all the
burden of documentation onto the programmers - "Nobody got time for that!"

If you use equates (EQUATE ACTION.DATE TO 12) then our XLr8 Eclipse based
system knows that your destination is 12 and is called "ACTION.DATE".   If
you U2 dictionary has 5 references to the position 12, then you will have
to have add a definition file to allow the translation to something other
than 12.   This really is not "Rocket Science".

How does it know what to call the data elements?
Code typically won't call an element Date.Hired
But the HR processing module, might just write the Action Date or even the
System Date into field 12 or something
It's up to the dictionary, and/or human knowledge of what the date means
in this case, to know it's the Date.Hired.
So how do you address that problem by just reading code?

You silly boys and girls, you don't need dictionaries to do a UML class
diagram. You just need UniBasic code, Eclipse to index your code, and XLr8
to create the XML.
