There is a paper (#109) in the 1993 Orlando Conference proceedings by =
David Frederick of Wycliffe Bible Translators called "Inside Architect =
and PHD". In it he describes the layout of the main dictionary files as =
they were in version 6.10E. (It helps if you have PowerHouse Architect).

If David is lurking out there he might still have an electronic copy of =
his paper.

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=3DQDC =
DICT=3DPHD_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.

Hi all,

When I worked on an HP system, we had a utility (included in Architect)
that could examine an Image database create PDL source for it. We were =
able
to point the utility at Architect's own database (which contains all the
information that goes into the PDL and PHD) and create a dictionary that
describes a PH dictionary.

Now that I work on a Alpha/Vax system, I'd like to create a similar
dictionary, one that describes the PHD.  Architect doe snot provide such =
a
utility on the Alpha/Vax platforms.  A limited description can be had =
using
ANAL /RMS /FDL, but this does not provide enough information to create a
dictionary.

Has anyone out there been able to come with something like this?


Thanks,


Mike
