Dictionary and Dictionary History processing (option 8 from the Main Function Menu) allows you to view, change, or delete CCDB dictionary descriptor information. It also allows you to review the history of changes made to one or more entities stored in the dictionary, to modify the comments associated with such a change, or to delete a change log entry for a change recorded against the dictionary. This chapter describes two of these functions:

• Review the history of changes made to one or more entities (option 4)
• Modify comments associated with a change (option 5)

The other options are described in the CA Endevor/DB for CA IDMS Administrator Guide.

To request the Dictionary and Dictionary History function, enter an option value of 8 and press Enter from the Main Function menu.

CA Endevor/DB returns the Dictionary Functions screen. The menu displayed for any given user may differ from that shown here, depending on whether menu items have been masked from use.
