In order to convert your dictionary from PHD to PDC you must firt
generate a PDL source file from QSHOW.

Start QSHOW
And then enter the command(s)

SET LANGUAGE PDL
GENERATE ALL
EXIT

This will create a PDL source file called QSHOGEN.PDL, this is a text
file and can be edited normally.

Start PDL, and enter the command(s)

CREATE DICTIOANRY my_dictionary NOT PRELOADED
USE QSHOGEN.PDL
LOAD

When the code has all whizzed pass PDL will load the dictioanry, and
give you a summary of errors and warnings. Warnings can usually be
ignored - but check them anyway, errors will stop the dictionary from
loading.

Its important to use NOT PRELOADED, as otherwise PDL will load standard
usage definitions which will give errors when loading your source, as
they are all included.

Of course if you are on VMS, then the dictionary will be the usual 5
files, on those systems that don't use PHD, there will be a file called
my_dictionary.pdc

Full details of the PDL syntax are in the manual 'PDL Reference'.

Subject: Conversion Questions


The organization I am working for it in the early stages of a conversion
from PH 7.1 and Interbase v3.3J on OpenVMS to PH 8.41C and Oracle on a
WIN2K system.  I am wondering if anyone has had experience with this
type of procedure.  My initial issue is how to convert our existing
dictionary from a PHD system to PDC.  I am relatively new to Powerhouse,
and so I ask that any responses not be too "technical".  Your collective
help is greatly appreciated.
