Application Dictionary Services
Application Dictionary Services is an impact analysis tool that speeds up the anal-
ysis of applications. The tool stores the information about the application objects
and their relationships to other application objects in a dictionary. A dictionary
extracts the cross-reference information about all of the objects in an application's
libraries, and saves it in a set of database files stored in a library. As application
objects and their relationships to other objects change, the information in the dic-
tionary is automatically updated.
You can use this feature of ADTS to:
Determine the impact of changing a field
Work with fields, files, or programs that would be affected by changing a field
Re-create all of the objects affected by changing a field
View the structure of an application
Determine the field reference hierarchy
Create, modify, or delete programs or files that are documented in a dictionary
Modify any fields or records that are documented in a dictionary
Examine the calling hierarchy
