Mike,

For some reason Cognos don't seem to want you to explore the dictionary
metadata, which is held in a "compiled" dictionary
PHD_LOCATION:PDSCHMAC.QDC.  Some years ago we hacked into it to create a 3GL
precompiler which used PHD dictionaries.  IIRC the procedure was as follows:

	Use SETDICT to point the PHD* logicals at a dictionary

	Run Quiz and QTP with options DICTTYPE=QDC
DICT=PHD_LOCATION:PDSCHMAC.QDC

	Create permanent subfiles from OBJECTS (PHD01), ATTRIBUTES (PHD02)
and RELATIONSHIPS (PHD03).

	Use QSHOW to examine the subfiles and generate PDL.  The QTP subfile
preserves the structure nesting, but the Quiz subfile is good for pictures
and labels.

	Puzzle out the record coding.  I seem to remember OBJECTS includes
files, records, elements and items, and RELATIONSHIPS links these coded
records together.
