ITOQ for PDL

[Joyce.Bleza@bartoncotton.com]

Hi Leonard,

If you have HP3000, here are the steps that I took in creating PDL.


1.  Run ITOQ to generate a QDD source file from the IMAGE root file:
 
:ITOQ

I T O Q  (5.06.CD) 

DICTIONARY TITLE : 

USER NAME        : 

------------------------------------

DATA BASE        : <database root file>
PASSWORD         : 

Do you want LEADING SIGN option generated for appropriate numeric
elements?ye

------------------------------------

DATA BASE        : <press carriage return>

------------------------------------

File SCHEMA.TEST.TECHSUPP created.


2. Compile the dictionary:

:QDD

> USE SCHEMA NOLIST
> EXIT

A file called QSCHEMAC has now been created.


3. Point to the QSCHEMAC file and generate PDL source code using QSHOW:

:FILE QSHOGEN;DISC=<large number if your QDD dictionary is large>

:FILE QSCHEMAC=<compiled QDD dictionary>

:QSHOW

> SET SECURITY
> SET PASSWORD
> GENERATE ALL
> EXIT

This creates a dictionary source file called QSHOGEN.  The reason for the
SET SECURITY and SET PASSWORD is so that any IMAGE passwords that are in the
QDD dictionary will be transferred to the PDL dictionary source file.

:EDITOR

/a.1
.1  CREATE DICT <dictname> NOT PRELOADED
.2  //

/k <dictionary source name>
/e

4.  Compile the dictionary with PDL:

:PDL

> USE <dictionary source name> NODETAIL
> EXIT

:FILE PHD=<dictname>



Good luck,

What is the method for creating a PDL source file to load a data base
definition
from a TurboImage data base? Back in the QDD days, ITOQ was the program.

Thanks.
