Upgrade from 7.10.G1 to 8.40D

[brian_matthewsbrian matthews]

what happens if you generate a pdl source script file as below ( unless you 
already have one ), and then create a dictionary using this as a base ( 
after changing/adding the create dict file spec ). I think you must use 
PHDPDL rather than PDL or you will get a .pdc dictionary,

set language pdl
set security
generate all

do you see all 5 files now ?

regards Bri,
