Merging Dictionary
The utility SDUTIL provides System Dictionary users with the capability to selectively merge certain
dictionary data into appropriate areas of the same or other dictionaries as follows:
• Dictionary structure definitions can be merged into the structure of another dictionary.
• 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 allows users to preview the results of the merge operation and provides users with information
about conflicts that will occur if the merge is allowed to continue. The user 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. For more information about merging dictionaries, see the SDUTIL utility of the
HP System Dictionary/XL General Reference Manual, Volume 2.
