In our development of an AM we created a dedictated developers directory: USER1:[GOES.MCC_SYSTEM] MCC_DEFINITION.DAT MCC_DICTIONARY.DAT MCC_DISPATCH_TABLE.DAT MCC_MIR_ATTRIBUTE.DAT MCC_MIR_DIRECTORY.DAT MCC_PTB_PARSER.BPT MCC_PTB_PARSER.DAT In our login.com file we redefine the logical MCC_SYSTEM $MCC_SYSTEM = USER1:[GOES.MCC_SYSTEM], MCC_COMMON, MCC_SPECIFIC The first problem that we encountered was: The mcc_dictionary.dat, mcc_definition.dat, mcc_mir_attribute.dat and mcc_mir_directory.dat are copies of the ..._dev_... files copied from the sys$common:[syshlp.examples.mcc] directory (as described in the MM-programming manual (page 3-7). In our development we've reached the stage that we want to use the ALARM FM. This doesn't work (create mcc 0 alarms rule ...... ->UNKNOWN VERB CREATE). Enrolling the mcc_alarm_fm doesn't help (duplicate enties found). What causes this problem (do we have to update the dictionary and parse tables with information of the ALARM FM (how ?)) ? The second problem that we encountered was : With the logical MCC_SYSTEM pointing to our development directory first, the ICONIC MAP PM doen't work (ACCESS VIOLATION). If we deassign MCC_SYSTEM the ICONIC MAP PM works, but we can't use our AM because it is not known to MCC. Of course we could issue MCC_<...>_AUTO_MAKE with MCC_SYSTEM pointing to MCC_COMMON and MCC_SPECIFIC (without our developement directory) but than we have to wait so looong (updating information). We are sure that there are other fellows that have encountered the same problem. Is there one of them that could tell us how he fixed this development problem. Thanks Paul & Henk.

The base problem you are having is that MCC doesn't try one dictionary
and if it isn't there, then go to the next one.
If youare at the point that you want to use the iconic map and the
alarms FM you are now ready to use the full dictionary. Simply load
your dictionary entries into the big dictionary (which you can copy
over into you smaller directory if desired) and rebuild the parse
tables.
I am ont sure if this is documented any where, but DAP does allow you
to do a "DELETE CLASS name" command to whittle down a large dictionary.
Just becareful if you do this, if something goes wrong (like hitting
^C) start again with a copy of the original.
