Parameters
dictionary-filename Filename of the source dictionary to be opened. The dictionary can be either a master
or a compiled dictionary and the default for this parameter is SYSDIC if not specified when
opening the dictionary.
scope-name Name of the scope to retr ieve definitions from. This parameter is required when opening the
dictionary.
scope-password Gives access to the scope. Any characters are allowed in a password. If a character in the
password is NOT valid in other System Dictionary names (ie. is in the restricted list), the
password must be entered inside a pair of quotes to allow recognition of the 'restricted' char-
acters.
If the SCOPE parameter is specified and the PASSWORD parameter is not, you will be
prompted for the password. For security reasons, the echo is turned off and you are given
three chances to enter the correct password. If you're running the program interactively and
the correct password is not entered after three tries, the FROM command will terminate and
youwill be returnedto the highestprompt level. If you're runningthe program in batch mode
and the correct password is not entered after three tries, the program will terminate. The
password is always read from $STDINX.
name-mode Specifies which name mode to open the dictionary with. The valid choices are:
Internal
External
