Dictionary Report Categories

Dictionary reports are grouped into the following categories for the purpose of discussion:

Basic entity reports document the standard data processing entities: system, user, program, module, file, record, and element.
Site-specific entity reports document entities that are defined to meet the needs of a specific site: class, attribute, and user-defined entities. The system-supplied classes, LANGUAGE and MODE, are included in this category.
Teleprocessing entity reports document entities typical of online systems: destination, line, logical terminal, map, panel, physical terminal, queue, and task.
Cross-reference reports document relationships between specific entities.
Special-purpose reports are used to perform administrative functions, such as punching module source to an output file.
