Overview
As of version A.03.00, Dictionary/3000 offers two new enhancements in
the DICTDBM utility:
• The capability of copying entities with the new COPY command.
• The ability to enter elements multiple times within an HP Inform
group.
COPY Command for Entities
For the COPY command, a category, class, element, file, group, location,
or procedure is copied to a new like entity with a different name. The
entity's associated child entities and/or its related entities can also be
copied if desired. This enhancement adds productivity improvements
for the user.
Multiple Entries for HP Inform
The same element can now be added to an HP Inform group more than
once, as long as the physical file designation or the parent file is
different making the record unique. This makes elements in HP Inform
groups easier to use and more straightforward. (Inform/V version
A.11.00 or later is needed with this enhancement.)
Documentation
The detailed information for these enhancements has been included in
the Dictionary/3000 Documentation Update Notice which is also
included in the latest edition of the Dictionary/3000 Reference Manual.
