• Occurrences from a version in a dictionary can be merged into another version in the same or another
dictionary.
• Security definitions from one dictionary can be merged into the security scheme in another dictionary.
SDUTIL all ows you to preview the results of the merge operation and provides you with information about
conflicts which will occur if the merge is allowed to continue. You can then decide whether or not to do the
actual merge operation. Note that it is also possible to merge dictionary data and compile it during the
same session.
Renaming a Compiled Dictionary
Unlike master dictionaries, compiled dictionaries do not have to be named SYSDIC. Therefore, SDUTIL
provides you with the capability of renaming a compiled dictionary. This function may be particularly
useful to prevent name conflicts with other dictionaries when moving a compiled dictionary to another
group, account, or system.
Purging a Dictionary
SDUTIL provides you with the capability of purging either master or compiled dictionaries. Note that if a
master dictionary is purged, all files associated with that dictionary (SYSDICxx) will also be purged.
