Printing CHOOSE parameters

Hi, just my 2 bobs worth

Have worked with PH before architect on MPE and have always maintained a 
PHD source file, have worked with VMS  but found the dictionary system 
clumsy, much easier to get in and change the dictionary (can use cut and 
paste etc) then recompile can also maintain version control of the source 
then use the utilities to fix the files.

A bit interested in the comment 'and then restore the Oracle dbms too?' , I 
always thought that you updated the dbms then changed the dictionary if you 
wanted to add PH features to a dbms field.
