Version 8.19.C2 will work fine against a QDD dictionary. The same file
equate that you had in place for the earlier versions should work fine for
8.19. Please note that it's QSCHEMAC not QSCHEMA, as in:

:FILE QSCHEMAC=compile_dictionary_name[.group[.account]]

But please remember that you won't get the year 2000 enhancements with a QDD
dictionary. For these you'll need to convert to PDL.

And note also that the PH components will look first for a file or a file
equate for PHD before using QSCHEMAC.
