Data Dictionary
The Data Dictionary is a global containing a description of what kind of data is stored in the global corresponding to a particular file. The data is used internally by FileMan for interpreting and processing files.
A Data Dictionary (DD) contains the definitions of a file’s elements (fields or data attributes); relationships to other files; and structure or design. Users generally review the definitions of a file’s elements or data attributes; programmers review the definitions of a file’s internal structure.
