How do you use the PH839UDC?

It worked right out of the box for me.

I've got a file equate for the dictionary, e.g. 
  :file phd=phd.obj

And I've got a file equate for a qkgo file, e.g.
  :file qkgo=qkgo.obj

The qkgo file specifies the dictionary file as simply "phd". It also
specifies the first screen and max's a bunch of execution time parameters.

I am converting to 839 form 729 and I cannot get the Cognos 
shipped UDC to work for Quick.  No matter what parameters I pass 
Quick always fails to find a valid dictionary.  None of the other 
elements fail, just Quick. I am convinced that there must be a flaw 
in the coding of the UDC but it seems an unreasonable amount of 
work to have to find out what it is.  Has anyone else run into this 
problem and if so how do you fix it?  A sample of the problem is 
given below.

:setcatalog ph839udc.ph839c.cognos
:reset @
:file phd=pd839c0c.obj839
:quick
 
No valid data dictionary was specified.
 
END OF PROGRAM
:
:QUICK AUTO=QKMAINMC.OBJ839 DICT=PH839C0C.OBJ839
 
No valid data dictionary was specified.
 
END OF PROGRAM
