Finding and Fixing Dictionary Issues

For Landmark programs to work properly with Landmark tables stored in the third-party database, the Landmark dictionary descriptions must match the expected translations in the database. Mismatches in these definitions can lead to performance problems or even program failure (column definition mismatches).

• Use the Verify Dictionary (dbverify) utility to check the two definitions.

• Use the Build Data Definition Language utility (dbmaint) to modify an object (table or index) that needs rebuilding or modification.

These utilities are used from a Landmark command prompt.
