Identifies fields and attributes defined for use with the Common Data Dictionary (CDD/Plus). Once the fields have been identified, they can then be used later with other specification file qualifiers, such as /KEY, /CONDITION, /INCLUDE, or /OMIT. You can use the /CDD_PATH_NAME qualifier only if your system has CDD/Plus installed. Format /CDD_PATH_NAME="cdd-path-name"
1 – Qualifier Values
"cdd-path-name" Specifies the CDD/Plus record definition within CDD/Plus.
2 – Full Description
/CDD_PATH_NAME can be used in place of or in conjunction with /FIELD statements. The /CDD_PATH_NAME qualifier identifies CDD/Plus defined fields and attributes for SORT. Identifying these fields with this qualifier is the same as specifying them with the /FIELD qualifier.
3 – Example
/CDD_PATH_NAME="customer" The /CDD_PATH_NAME qualifier identifies the customer record, which was previously identified in CDD/Plus.
