Information Obtained from the DDLDML Area

Standard dictionary reports document information maintained in the DDLDML area of the dictionary. The records in the DDLDML area of the dictionary are defined and modified by various CA IDMS system software components, such as the Data Dictionary Definition Language (DDDL) compiler and the system generation compiler. Information that is displayed in the fields of the dictionary reports is taken from the corresponding fields in the dictionary records. Note, however, that not all fields in the records are displayed in the standard reports.

Note: For more information about how information is defined to the dictionary and about the structure of the records being reported on, see the CA IDMS Dictionary Structure Reference Guide.
