DICTIONARY

 The %DICTIONARY directive  allows  access  to  data  definitions
 stored  in  the  CDD/Repository, which is a product that must be
 purchased  separately  and  may  not  be   available   on   your
 environment.


 Syntax:

    %DICTIONARY 'cdd-path-name [[/[[NO]]LIST]]'


 The 'cdd-path-name' is a character string  that  represents  the
 full  or  relative  path  name of a CDD record description to be
 extracted.  The resulting path name must conform  to  the  rules
 for forming CDD path names.

 A full path name is one that begins with CDD$TOP  and  specifies
 the  names  of all its descendants; it is a complete path to the
 record definition.  Descendant names  are  separated  from  each
 other by a period.

 A relative path name  begins  with  any  generation  other  than
 CDD$TOP,  and  specifies the names of the descendants after that
 point.  You can create a relative path by establishing a default
 directory with a logical name.

 The /LIST qualifier indicates  that  the  included  declarations
 should  be printed in the listing of the program if a listing is
 being generated.  If not specified, the default is determined by
 compilation   switches.    Use   of   this  parameter  overrides
 compilation switches.

 Example:
    TYPE
       %DICTIONARY 'CDD$TOP.CORPORATE.SALARY_RANGE'


 The definition of 'CDD$TOP.CORPORATE.SALARY_RANGE' is placed  in
 a program at the position of the TYPE declaration.
