- To build the data dictionary tools:
-
- 1. Compile all the new abstractions (newabs.src) associated with this
- tool into a program library.
-
- 2. Compile everything named in the DATADICT.CO file into the program library
- containing the abstractions or a sublibrary whose parent library contains
- all the abstractions. DATADICT.CO lists file names in the correct
- compilation order.
-
- 3. Link Create_Dictionary_Driver, Edit_Dictionary_Driver,
- Update_Dictionary_Driver and Dictionary_Report_Driver with the program
- library where everything was compiled. To do this using the DEC Ada
- compiler type:
-
- $ acs link create_dictionary_driver
- $ acs link edit_dictionary_driver
- $ acs link update_dictionary_driver
- $ acs link dictionary_report_driver
-
- To run the tool on VMS:
-
- 1. Define logical symbol for the executables of the data dictionary tools.
- For example,
-
- CREATE_DD :== $DRB1:[NOSC.TOOLS.DATADICT]CREATE_DICTIONARY_DRIVER.EXE
- EDIT_DD :== $DRB1:[NOSC.TOOLS.DATADICT]EDIT_DICTIONARY_DRIVER.EXE
- UPDATE_DD :== $DRB1:[NOSC.TOOLS.DATADICT]UPDATE_DICTIONARY_DRIVER.EXE
- REPORT_DD :== $DRB1:[NOSC.TOOLS.DATADICT]DICTIONARY_REPORT_DRIVER.EXE
-
- NOTE: The full path name of the executable is required in the
- definition of the symbol. The pathname given here is just an example
- and will be different on your system.
-
- 2. Enter a command with appropriate parameters. For example,
-
- CREATE_DD ("[.mydict]");
-
- Entering any of the commands with no parameters gives a brief
- description of how to use the tool.
