Need PDL help please.

[Deskin, Bob]

There was a problem with native mode QSHOW accessing a compatibility mode
(or HP 3000 classic) QDD dictionary. The solution is to recompile the QDD
dictionary in QDD 5.09 and then use QSHOW. An alternative is to use the QDD
to PDL synatx translator that went out with 5.36 and 7.29.
