CA IDMS Dictionary Loader populates the dictionary
The CA IDMS Dictionary Loader is a syntax converter used in conjunction with the Integrated Data Dictionary (IDD) to simplify the task of populating the dictionary with information contained in COBOL source programs. The CA IDMS Dictionary Loader processes a system of programs (that is, programs that process common files and records) individually and then collectively. This processing yields a collection of useful reports and the Data Dictionary Definition Language (DDDL) source statements (that is, ADD PROGRAM, ADD RECORD, and ADD FILE) needed to populate the dictionary with information about the programs.
