Frank Nagy after Mark Bixby: >I have Business Report Writer. I use SDUTIL when I change >the structures of our TurboImage data bases = very rarely. >The Business Report Writes is unable to use the System >Dictionary, ...... Mark came back and clarified: >Different SDUTIL! The one I was talking about is for >Subsystem Dump, as explained at: I'm going to add a brief continuation to what Frank thought the thread was on. Frank continued: >It is cumbersome, is not it? The QueryCalc uses a simpler >method to extact the database structures. Yup. >We have Transact/V, but we do not use it because we got it >too late, when we had written the user interface in Pascal/V. If there are other users out there on MPE/iX who are still running Transact/V in CM on their 900 series boxes and still doing any kind of even semi-serious development, I hope that look at going to NM Transact/iX. The productivity enhancement to be gained from just getting NM Trandebug/iX is significant. >Transact uses SD to handle the form files, too. Just to make sure there is no confusion: Transact can in fact use System Dictionary. But it's at least a couple years ago now that HP recommended that unless there was some reason you HAD to go to System Dictionary, stay with Dictionary/V. Even though Dictionary/V has some limitations, it is easier to use and less complicated than System Dictionary.... Which reminds me that after all these years we still don't have the ~ universal "repository" that HP was talking about some years back... Oh, well, I don't have time to get off on that subject today........ Ken Sletten
