Dictionaries

The columns in a table are described by the data dictionary for that table. This is a separate table , a KISAM table in its own right, which has a record for each column. There may be more than one KISAM table described by a given data dictionary.

Each column is given a column name of up to 8 characters. Column names are case sensitive and are generally upper case.

Dictionaries are created and maintained in by the Rev7 application. When a table is opened with KISAMOpenTable both the table name and the dictionary name are specified.
