Running the SDINIT Program
Special Character Responses
When running the SDINIT pr ogram, the following responses have special meaning:
[[CONTROL]] X Causes the line on which the [[CONTROL]] X was entered to be ignored. The system dis-
plays three exclamation points (! ! !) and then waits for you to reenter the line.
[[CONTROL]] Y Causes the line on which the [[CONTROL]] Y was entered to be reprompted. If, however,
a [[CONTROL]] Y is entered in the middle of prompting for the list of dictionary capacities,
the program goes back to the previous level of prompts.
The SDINIT Prompts
The first value in all SDINIT prompts is the default value and can always be used by hitting [[RETURN]].
For example, when [[RETURN]] is pressed in response to the prompt shown below, the Initialization option
will be used:
Initialization / Reinitialization (I/R) >
The SYSDIC Dictionary
It might be helpful here to point out that the name of the dictionary which is always used by the
initialization procedure is SYSDIC. You are never prompted to supply a dictionary name.
Although an MPE account may have several dictionaries in existence, there can never be more than one
per group. Each of these dictionaries will be named SYSDIC. The ability to achieve the functionality of
more than one dictionary per user or per group is provided by the domain and version control
capabilities. In this way, you can partition an individual dictionary into different naming spaces and
versions and, in effect (although not in fact), have more than one dictionary. You will, however, have just
one dictionary named SYSDIC. The domain and version control capabilities are described in detail in
Chapter 4 of the HP System Dictionary/XL General Reference Manual, Volume 1.
The RUN Command
You are now ready to run the initialization program. To run SDINIT, enter the following command:
RUN SDINIT.PUB.SYS
When [[RETURN]] is entered, SDINIT will respond with the following banner:
HP System Dictionary SDINIT HP32254v.uu.ff - (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1985
At this point, you are given two options:
1toinitialize the dictionary, or
2toreinitialize an existing dictionary.
The first prompt that appears is shown below:
Initialization / Reinitialization (I/R) >
Enter [[RETURN]] or "I" to initialize a new dicti onary or "R" to reinitialize an existing dictionary. If you
choose Initialization and the dictionary already exists, you will be given a message telling you that the
