• Differences in attribute data-types, lengths, and edit values.
• Differences between attributes which belong to each entity type's and relationship type's attribute list.
When previewing versions, the structure differences, if any, will be reported as described above. Unless
the COMPLETE-STRUCTURE option is selected, the preview will be limited to the structure pertinent to
the version only. In addition to the structure differences report, the following will be reported:
• Differences in the external names of scopes if security is previewed.
• Differences in attribute values of the entities and relationships.
If you are previewing a dictionary version, the PREVIEW process will also create SDMAIN commands and
store them in the file SDMCOM. These commands include the DEFINE command(s) which define the
environment from which occurrences are to be deleted. They also include the SDMAIN commands
'DELETE RELATIONSHIP' and 'DELETE ENTITY', which will delete any occurrences which exist in the
target dictionary but not in the source. Note that you can then modify this file and use it as input to
SDMAIN if desired.

REDO
Allows you to make corrections to commands before reentering them. The REDO command allows you to
reenter the last command entered after correcting it or making modifications to it. The REDO command
only applies to the last command you issued. When you issue the REDO command, you will enter an
editing mode and the first line of the command will be displayed for modification.
To modify the command, position the cursor using the space bar, under the character to be modified and
enter one of the subcommands listed below. SDUTIL interprets any character other than the ones listed
below as a replacement character. For example, if you type TIME below a character, since T is not a valid
edit command, TIME will replace the characters on the line above..
