Daniel, thanks for providing that information.
For general information, you could not examine this dictionary prior to 710G
because the dictionary was built with the NOSHOW option. In 710G we opened
up the dictionary so that it could be examined in QSHOW. You can also use
QUIZ to display the contents of your user dictionary, however because both
the user dictionary and pdschema are PHD dictionaries you have to 'fool'
QUIZ to use the correct dictionary for the right thing. To do this:
$SETDICT <user dictionary>
$QUIZ dict=phd_location:pdschema
>....
This causes QUIZ to use the pdschema as it's underlying dictionary, but the
logical names for PHD0-4 (or 3 in 8.xx) are still set and these logicals
tell pdschema where to find the user dictionary files to report. In this
case the user dictionary becomes just a set of data files.
In the Upgrade Guide for 8.30 it mentions the things that are different in
the dictionary between 7.10 and 8.30. The main difference causing the
record length changes was the upgrade from 32 to 64 characters for all
PowerHouse names. We also added in Transactions, and a number of other new
features, many of which caused an increased record length, particularly in
the phd01 data file where the vast bulk of the dictionary specifics is kept.
Several of the files in the pdschema are coded records. For PHD01 the
record OBJECTS contains the generic layout for that file.

Hi Bruce,
Try:
setdict phd_location:pdschema
qshow
You should be able to see the files have open names of phd00, phd01 etc
Out of interest, what is PADS? I was considering writing some ph programs
to write programs which would check phd01 etc to validate files & elements
that i wanted to use. Is this something similiar?

We're trying to port PADS (Powerhouse Application Development System) from
version 710G to version 830D4 under OpenVMS on an Alpha processor. After
recompiling all of the PADS programs, most functions appear to work.
However, when using the PADGREP.QZS program we get the error:
*E* The actual record length doesn't match the length in the dictionary.
The error is generated by the PADS-PHD-OBJECTS select. PADS-PHD-OBJECTS
points at the PHD01.PHD dictionary file. It would appear the internal
layout of the PHD01 dictionary file has changed between 710G and 830D4.
Does anyone have a fix for this or information concerning the internal
structure of the PHD01.PHD dictionary file?
Thanks,
Bruce C.
