Data Dictionary System: Code Slinger Dictionaries (command line)

Dictionaries on the command line (cmd:)

Arguments to DDS commands are placed in the internal cmd: dictionary. The cmd: dictionary, in turn, is included in the internal par: dictionary. By accessing the par: dictionary, applications are able see everything a user is trying to accomplish. As an example,

    editd  in=in_dict   out=out_dict   1s=45  1e=645   1i=5

invokes program editd and places

in= in_dict
out= out_dict
1s= 45
1e= 645
1i= 5

in both the cmd: and par: dictionaries.
